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:
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 everyoneuse 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:
Every new volunteer who completes 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!
