Safety Policies

At the Presbyterian Church of Novato, we take our responsibility to care for children very seriously. These policies are intended to facilitate a safe and nurturing environment for our children. While providing accountability for all staff and volunteers, and to eliminate all opportunities for abuse or misconduct.

We have created the Safe Church Misconduct and Abuse Prevention Policy. Its procedures have been adopted and will be strictly enforced at all times during our programs and events. To view a copy of the policy click the button below. 

Safe Church Misconduct and Abuse Prevention Policy

PCN will ensure that all mandatory reporters, Sunday School teachers, employees and volunteers working with children are trained on this policy. Every year we have a volunteer training in the fall where we go over our policies, procedure, and requirements. 

Reference checks will be routinely done. Under Section 11105.3 of the Penal Code, all employees, administrators, and regular volunteers shall undergo a background check to identify and exclude from employment or volunteer work with PCN any persons who have been determined by the California Department of Justice (DOJ) or FBI to have a history of child abuse or other disqualifying convictions.  A regular volunteer means a volunteer who is 18 years of age or older and who has direct contact with or supervision of, children for more than 16 hours per month or 32 hours per year.. 

Any volunteer who works with or supervises youth regularly shall: 

1. Be a member or active attendee of PCN for at least six months prior to starting such activities. Volunteers who are not members of PCN may qualify by submitting a statement of faith for review/approval by the Christian Education Committee. 
2. Be at least 14 years of age. Adult supervision of minor volunteers is required. 
3. Complete online mandated reporter training provided by the Office of Child Abuse Prevention in the State Department of Social Services. (https://mandatedreporterca.com/)
4. Complete an online training course provided by PCN on recognizing the common grooming processes and behaviors of sexual offenders. (We are using Ministry Safe’s Sexual Abuse Awareness Training)

If you have questions or concerns about these policies, please talk with Sydney Fletcher our Safe Church Coordinator, as we want to hear from you and value all input.
