It is the policy of Trinity Lutheran Church (TLC) to provide a Christ-like, safe and nurturing environment where children and youth can worship, learn and participate in fellowship activities with other children, youth and adults. TLC Staff Members, Adult Leaders and Youth Assistants are committed to ministering to the spiritual, relational, physical, emotional and social needs of the children and youth who participate in any of the TLC activities.
TLC supports and maintains a zero-tolerance policy concerning child abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. It is a violation of Illinois law for any Staff Member, Adult Leader and Youth Assistant to physically, sexually, or emotionally abuse or neglect any child participating in TLC activities. It is the responsibility of every TLC Staff Member, Adult Leader and Youth Assistant to act in the best interest of all children/youth in every activity.
In order to minimize the potential for abuse and neglect of a child or youth participating in TLC activities, the TLC Parish Planning Council has authorized and approved the preparation of a Child & Youth Protection Policy. Each TLC Staff Member, Adult Leader and Youth Assistant must follow this policy whenever they are involved with children and youth.
