White Paper: Protecting Children and Organizations from Child Sexual Abuse—An Overview of Legal and Practical Issues

What steps should ministries and nonprofits take to prevent, respond to, and defend against child sexual abuse claims?

This White Paper surveys the legal and practical landscape of child protection for churches and mission organizations. It covers prevention strategies (policies, screening, training), best practices for investigating allegations, and approaches to healing and justice for victims. It also addresses litigation trends, statutes of limitations, and how organizations can prepare for potential lawsuits. The goal is twofold: to safeguard children and to protect ministries from legal and reputational harm.

 

For any religious organization that works with children, protecting them—and the ministry—from the risk of child abuse is crucial. Download this free resource to help equip and prepare your religious organization by learning more about abuse prevention, wise approaches to investigations, and the risks, process, and consequences of litigation.
