Plan to Protect? is truly about creating that great place where everyone will want to spend their time. It is about creating a place where everyone is safe. It is that place where they can be everything they are intended to be.
My Plan to Protect?Pocket Guide for Vulnerable Adults highlights the best practices of our well respected protection manual Plan to Protect? which is now used in over 7,500 organizations, churches, NGOs, schools, care facilities and camps across Canada. It is an excellent tool to place in the hands of volunteers, staff, family members and leaders.
The Pocket Guide of Best Practices for Vulnerable Adults is a most welcomed addition to the growing resources for responsible care of the aging, and is especially to be applauded amidst the current demographic acceleration of aging. Already almost 10% of the elderly population experience some type of abuse and the numbers are growing. I heartily recommend this short Guide as a means to raise our awareness of the issues while encouraging our hearts to respond. It provides informed and compassionate guidance and can serve as the basis for further training or a handy reference manual. May it encouragement each of us to do all we can to fill the gap between the vulnerable and the care-filled honour called for.?
