Stop The Sexual Abuse, Stop The Cover-Ups, Rebuild The Trust
The StaySAFER Network supports the safety and security recommendations and guidelines from countless investigations, think tanks, organization and agency leaders, after action reports and so on.
These include, in part:
- 24/7/365 Reporting Tool
Any witness – clergy, laity, staff, community member, vendor, anyone – can quickly and easily report any suspicious actions and/or situations. These reports can be anonymous or not.
Any sexual harassment and abuse, theft, fraud, etc. will immediately decline as the likelihood of discovery increases.
Additionally, once reported, you have the opportunity to intervene prior to actually sexual attacks, violence, and continued criminal acts or other escalation damaging lives, careers and additional brand damage.
- Central Recognition Tool
Deserved positive reinforcement is an effective method of improving mental health, confidence, increasing productivity and success. Building a strong community of courtesy and cooperation will reduce abuse, bullying and violence, increase participation and more.
- Multidisciplinary Review Teams
Independent Review Boards, Multidisciplinary Threat Assessment Teams, Safety & Security Committees and similar are almost universally recommended. These typically include community individuals who will assist the church in managing the programs. This team may also manage reports and assist in the development and implementation of intervention and management strategies to mitigate any risk of harm. Increased success occurs when including those people who need to know now; who need to prevent before; who need to act after; who are trained to help during. Access the right people at the right time, 24/7/365. See People and Communication for more information.
- Response, Mitigation & Continuity of Operations:
In addition to the sexual abuse crisis and other person crimes, every place where people gather is faced with additional and serious threats that include tornadoes, hurricanes, drug/alcohol abuse, theft, and fraud, just to name a few. Universal, secure access to the files, equipment and other resources necessary to respond or mitigate any man-made or natural disasters that do happen. Emergency Response Plans, Blueprints, Drills, Audits and other options are accepted industry standards for religious campuses and 33 states require some or all of these for any school, faith-based or not.
Safer and more secure churches are necessary to rebuild trust and support. The StaySAFER Network is a force-multiplier solution that maximizes the value of your existing personnel and resources while supporting the integration of new partners from the community and safety subject matter experts.
The StaySAFER Network offers both organizational and independent oversight. This enables churches and other faith based meeting places to manage issues with their local knowledge independently while benefiting from organizational and independent oversight to ensure that policies and procedures are followed consistently and correctly.
