Receiving an allegation of some kind of misconduct is always a shock and may trigger a crisis situation. The end goal will be to bring peace and healing, but it may be a long journey. This talk will provide principles on how to respond initially, what plans to put in place, and how to evaluate if an investigation is needed. Then it walks through how to plan and execute a good investigation, addressing some practical and legal concerns. This may include “red flags,” who should conduct an investigation, and to what extent legal counsel and other experts may be needed. A correct approach will help avoid serious mistakes, minimize damage, and prepare the organization to provide healing to people harmed. An investigation is designed to uncover truth, but the goal should be for the truth to be used for repentance and healing. This event will be free for ECAP Members and $20 for non-members. All attendees will receive a copy of Theresa Sidebotham's book Handling Allegations in a Ministry: Responses and Investigations.
