ATTENTION:
ALL Class "A" Volunteers

There is a

"Protective Behaviors"

Training Policy

in effect!!!

All Class "A" volunteers MUST complete a "Protective Behaviors" course - an online version is available.

The implementation of this training

is required to further reduce the opportunity for sexual, physical and emotional abuse to our athletes.

To access it,

simply click on the link below:

Protective Behaviors Training Course

Once you have successfully completed the course, SOME will receive an email confirmation that you have completed the training.

We would prefer that everyone use the online training, however, if you are not able to, you may obtain a CD version of the training, by calling

Ian Frank at 879-0489.

NEW Volunteers:

All new volunteers who complete the

Class "A" Volunteer Application, must also complete the Protective Behavior Training as well, to be properly registered with SOME.

Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation with this policy - as always, we ALL strive to make the program better and safer for the athletes we serve!
