PCC Safety Policies
North Tryon Presbyterian Church Supports
The Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC) aspires to be, and is committed to fostering, a safe church environment free from harm and harassment. Creating a safe church involves both preventing and responding to harm through policies, training, police record checks, transparency, and clear reporting and investigation procedures for misconduct, as well as providing pathways to justice, redress, and healing when harm occurs.
See: presbyterian.ca/safe-church for more information.
We are Commited to Fulfilling the Three Safety Policies
-

-
Policy and Procedures Addressing Harassment in the Church (link to the Policy)
