Safe Gatherings Certification (required IF working with children, youth, or vulnerable persons)

Safe Gatherings is an online abouse prevention program that screens and trains clergy, staff and volunteers to help prevent abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in group settings. When employees and volunteers are trained to identify potential abusers, recognize the signs of abuse, and know how to handle reporting, they are better equipped to prevent abuse.

The Michigan Conference Disaster Response Team has adopted the Michigan Conference UMC policy for the use of Safe Gatherings as the abuse prevention program that each ERT/VIM volunteer must complete. Please check the appropriate box below and fill in the information for the ERT Trainer to follow up with to confirm the information on your training.

Option 1

I have taken the Safe Gatherings training through my local church.

Option 2

I have not received the Safe Gathering Training, but my church offers and pays for those who will be working with children, youth and vulnerable adults. I will contact them and take the training under my local congregation's name.

Option 3

I have taken the Safe Gatherings Training as a Conference/District Volunteer for camp and other activities. Please check with the Michigan Conference to confirm this information.

Option 4

I have not taken the Safe Gatherings Training and my church does not offer it at this time. I need to take it through the Michigan Conference as a Conference/District Volunteer. (If you check this box and fill out the form correctly, the conference will pay $15 of the $45 cost for this training. The trainer will send you the information on how to sign in for this discount.)
