Church Safety and Risk-Management Consulting

Dr. Zirschky also works with churches, denominations, camps, schools, and faith-based organizations that want to strengthen their safety systems before harm occurs. The goal is not simply to create policies that sit in a binder. The goal is to help organizations implement workable, meaningful, and sustainable practices that reduce the risk of abuse, injury, and institutional failure.

  • Clear
  • Practical
  • Theologically and organizationally appropriate
  • Implementable by staff and volunteers
  • Protective of children, youth, and vulnerable persons
  • Sustainable over time
  • Responsive to foreseeable risks
