“Anyone who is in a leadership position where they will need to train employees in working safely with vulnerable people (and, honestly, anyone who needs to develop their public speaking and training skills) would benefit from this course. It is extremely valuable in providing an example, resources and templates for public speaking, in addition to providing important information and reminders of the need for clear policies and teamwork within organizations to protect the vulnerable people therein.”
Gabriel Magnus

“You’ll learn a lot about creating a ministry of safety at your church. You’ll get stats and figures that demonstrate the importance of this training and maybe more importantly information about how to arm those under your leadership about what to do in situations where reports need to be made. I would recommend this course for anyone in a ministry leadership position, kids, youth, pastors, elders, etc.”
Mike Sanders

“It is incredibly thorough in requiring the trainer to think through all the policies and procedures. As I was preparing to make the material more “fresh” for my own volunteers, it was an appropriate refresher for myself.”

“Your leadership and advisors are always responsive and patient with our questions. Plan to Protect has the highest standards. Your courses are comprehensive. It has been a great service to be able to provide zoom training to our volunteers as they live all over Canada and the USA”

The course provides a strong foundation, combines theory with real-world application, and encourages thoughtful reflection on responsibility, risk, and accountability.”

Trust.”
