Free Webinar Series: Predator Proofing Your Organization
Current times necessitate the need for a strong child protection plan, which includes setting up a solid system to keep predators out. Research indicates that wherever children consistently gather, they will attract predators.
It only takes a few minutes searching online to realize that predators have successfully infiltrated a multitude of organizations and left significant destruction in their wake. Our goal with this free two-part webinar series is to leverage the most current information available and assist leaders in child and youth-focused organizations on how to prevent abuse.
Part-One – January 29th
- The current landscape for child and youth-focused organizations and why they are targets
- Who are predators? Is there a specific profile? What characteristics do they share?
- How do they operate? Current changes in grooming methods
- Common elements of environments where they thrive
- How do predators identify their victims? Common traits that catch their attention
Part-Two – February 5th
- Modern prevention methods
- Seven protective measures that work
- The role and benefits of reporting. How your response determines your organization’s reputation
- What to do if a child discloses abuse and what to say and do at that moment
- Guidelines for supporting victims and families
We hope you can join us for this important series. Together we can make a difference in our organizations and work to protect the children we serve.
At KidCheck, we believe every child deserves the right to grow up in a safe environment, and every parent deserves the peace of mind about the safety of their children.

Hi, Angela!! I am the Children’s Ministry Director at Riverside Church in Three Rivers, MI. I have attended some of your deep dives at Mega-Con and have found them so helpful. I’m writing in hopes that you can provide me with some stats. Our K-3 graders will be moving spaces and my SP does not see the need for a single stall restroom in the new space. We currently have designated single stall restrooms for our entire kidmin area and our policy is that no child is to enter a multi-stall restroom (while checked into kidmin). The area we are moving to has a standard multi-stall restroom. I have spoken to my SP about the rise in peer on peer abuse as well as the rise in female offenders. Do you have any solid stats that you could provide me with? I can be reached at tbeall@riverside-church.com or 269-535-0177. I really appreciate your time!
