Student Protection Plan
Here at Tulsa KLIFE, your student’s safety is a priority, which is why we have adopted a comprehensive Student Protection Plan. This plan includes background checks and exhaustive interviews with potential staff members, extensive training on KLIFE’s policies and guidelines for leaders and full-time staff, supervision, multiple reporting systems, and more. Read below to see more about each aspect of our plan.
Selection process
Application – All potential staff and volunteers fill out an extensive application that describes past work history, references, personality strengths, character, spiritual beliefs and ministry experience.
Interview - All potential staff and volunteers go through an exhaustive interview with one of our trained staff who ask each applicant in-depth questions regarding family history, social involvement, spiritual growth, moral beliefs, and coaching abilities. Our interviewers have been professionally trained and review Student Protection Plan content and interview guidelines each year at our January conference in order to give them increased skills in screening all applicants.
References/Background Checks – Each applicant is required to submit two written personal references before being considered for a position. Also, each potential staff member or volunteer is processed through multiple official background checks including the National Criminal Background Database, the National Sex Offender Registry, and the National Identity Confirmation.
Selection Process – Due to our high standards, KLIFE is extremely selective in our staff selection process as well as who we allow to serve and volunteer in our chapter. Our National Support Center work with each local Board of Directors to hire full time staff who have a passion, spiritual maturity, love for kids and commitment to KLIFE’s vision and mission. These staff members, in turn, use the same standards to select local volunteers who minister directly to students in the community.
Student Protection Plan Training – All staff and volunteers are trained each year on the details of our Student Protection Plan, which includes setting boundaries on physical touch, communication, and time spent with students, as well as information on how to identify and report any signs of abuse. Applicants are quizzed on their knowledge and understanding of KLIFE’s Student Protection Plan.
Contract – All staff and volunteers sign a contract agreeing to follow KLIFE’s policies and procedures throughout the duration of their involvement.
TRAINING
All of our full-time staff and volunteers receive extensive training in the following areas:
1) Risk Management
2) Safety Policies & Procedures
3) Zero Tolerance Regarding Abuse
4) Mandatory Reporting Policies
5) Comprehensive Sexual Abuse Awareness & Prevention
6) Proper Conduct with Students
