titleWhy are we doing this again when we took the same courses last year?

Reliant is committed

to upholding the highest standards of behavior. Therefore, we take great care in creating policies and procedures that support a healthy and ethical culture. These specific policies have been put 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. 

to fostering a safe and healthy ministry environment for employees and for those to whom they minister. Therefore, it is beneficial for us all to be trained and educated on regular basis on best practices around child safety and workplace harassment and discrimination prevention, two areas that are essential for creating safe ministry and work environments. It also gives you a chance to review the policies that are related to these topics. Plus, some states require annual training on workplace harassment and this ensures that we are compliant with those state laws. 

The Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Prevention course by Telios Teaches has been updated for 2021 with new content. The Abuse Awareness training by MinistrySafe is the same course that you took in 2020, but it is such a vital topic for churches and ministries today that the information that is covered in the course must remain top of mind for anyone who works with children, youth, young adults, or any vulnerable population.
