Integris has partnered with Ministry Safe for training our staff and volunteers. Because we love children and youth, and desire to protect them, Integris requires all staff members and volunteers working with children or youth (and other vulnerable populations) to complete FOUR SAFETY STEPS before ministry work or volunteer placements begin.

STEP ONE: Sexual Abuse Awareness Training
To equip Integris staff members and volunteers with information necessary to recognize abuser characteristics and grooming behavior, Integris requires all staff members and volunteers to complete Sexual Abuse Awareness Training (live or online). This training will be renewed every two years.

STEP THREE: Policies & Procedures
Staff members and volunteers are required to review the policies contained in Integris' Children's Ministry Handbook and sign the last page indicating that he or she has read and understood the material, and agrees to comply with policy requirements.
STEP FOUR: Criminal Background Check
Integris’ requires that all staff members and volunteers working or volunteering in children’s or youth activities or programming undergo a criminal background check. Depending upon position, differing levels or intensity of background check may be required. Individuals who have committed sexually-oriented or sex-related crimes may not serve in any area providing services to children or minors. In addition, certain other past criminal acts may preclude an applicant from serving minors.
