USE OF FACILITIES BY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS
Outside groups and organizations using the church facilities on a recurring basis are to be made aware of this policy and must adhere to it or must provide evidence of their own policy and procedures, subject to review and acceptance by Laurel Street Mennonite Church.
If their policy does not include a “two adult” rule; clearances and training for volunteers; procedures for immediate reporting of suspected child abuse to Childline; and a prohibition on adults being alone in the facility with a child not their own, the organization is required to comply with these provisions.
An adult representative of outside groups will be required to sign a Statement of Compliance for the sponsoring organization before use of the facilities will be granted.
