North Congregational United Church of Christ (Just North UCC) seeks to provide a safe and secure environment for the children and adults who participate in our educational programs and related social activities. The goal of the stated North Church Safe Church Policy is to protect the participants of our educational programs from misconduct and to protect our volunteers from false accusations. North Congregational United Church of Christ does not tolerate violent or abusive behavior of any type, or any other unlawful conduct on its property or by its volunteers, particularly as it relates to those most vulnerable.
Every member of Just North UCC, whether clergy, leader, lay staff, volunteer or parent, has a role in nurturing appropriate conduct and in taking action to prevent and correct unlawful or inappropriate behavior that is contrary to the North Church Safe Church Policy and, as necessary, discipline those persons who violate this policy up to and including termination of member and/or volunteer status.
To fulfill our commitment to providing a safe environment, Just North UCC has adopted the North Church Safe Church Policy to be used, without exception, when selecting educational ministry volunteers who are also required to adhere to the Just North UCC’s Anti-Harassment Policy.
