titleWhy are we doing this?

Why are we doing this? 

Because Reliant is committed to upholding the highest standards of behavior, we take great care in creating policies and procedures that support a healthy and ethical culture. These specific policies are in place to ensure the safety of those doing ministry as well as those being ministered to. We believe the updates to the policy on sexual harassment (now called Workplace Harassment and Discrimination Policy) and our new Child and Vulnerable Adult Safety policy are extremely important additions to achieve these goals. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with all the new elements.

long will it take?
  • From the two options, which Sexual Harassment Prevention Course you complete is dependent on your supervisory or staff level (see explanations below): 
    1. Sexual Harassment Prevention for Employees (length: 1.5 hours): Take this course if you do not have anyone reporting to you OR are not at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director.
    2. Sexual Harassment Prevention for Managers (length: 2 hours): Take this course if you supervise other Reliant staff OR are at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director. If you supervise volunteers or have other supervisory responsibilities and would like to take this course, go for it! The Managers course includes the same content as the one for employees plus about 30 minutes of additional material for supervisors.

  • All employees must take the first Abuse Awareness Course, taking the second course is dependent on your supervisory or staff level: 
    1. Abuse Awareness (length: 1.5 hours): Take this course if you're a Reliant employee or Associate. 
    2. Skillful Screening (length: 2.25 hours): Take this course in addition to the Abuse Awareness course, if you supervise other Reliant staff OR are at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director. If you are involved in interviews or the hiring process for staff or volunteers, this course is optional but recommended for you. Use your discernment or talk to your supervisor on if this course is right for you. 

Here's more detailed information about the Required Education Courses.

titleWhat's the deadline?

You'll begin receiving communication to your Reliant email address the week of June 8. And you will have until August 7, 2020 to complete the steps listed in the yellow box above. We challenge you to complete these steps sooner, rather than later. It's at least four hours worth of work.

titleI completed the courses as part of my New Staff Training with Reliant. Do I need to take them again?

I completed the courses as a part of my New Staff Training with Reliant. Do I need take them again?

All Reliant Staff that attended New Staff Training (NST) as of May 2020 were required to complete the courses within 30 days of NST. If you attended NST since May 2020 and completed the course, you do not need to take them as part of the Annual Requirements for existing staff.

Some Reliant Staff that are part of the Fixed Term program completed the Abuse Awareness training when they were hired. If you are a resident or intern and completed that training since January 2020, you do not need to complete that course as part of the Annual Requirements for existing staff. You will still need to complete the Sexual Harassment Prevention course.

titleI've already taken similar training in the last year. What can I do?

If you have taken courses on the topic of Sexual Harassment Prevention or Child Abuse Awareness in the last 12 months, you may request an exception. Email the following to Julie Thomas, HR Compliance Officer, as soon as possible:

  1. Name of the course
  2. Vendor/creator/author of course content
  3. Length of training
  4. Date you completed course
  5. Short description of course
  6. Proof of completion (if available)

The exception is not guaranteed, and you may still be required to complete the course.
