We cannot stress enough the importance of making sure that no church worker is ever alone with a child. No policy is more important or more effective in preventing tragedy than this, and church leaders must be certain workers comply with the requirement. Every child deserves to be safe in his own church building. In addition, non-compliance leaves both church and workers open to false accusations that could bankrupt the church.
Based on our decades of legal experience, the importance of both having and following the two-adult rule without exception cannot be overemphasized.
