Working in a cross-cultural setting often means having different laws and understandings of some important issues, like child protection. It can be difficult when you are used to certain parameters that aren’t in use in your new context. It can be daunting to know what to do and how to begin.  We have been so thankful for Sarah’s help in addressing this vital topic for our church. She has raised good questions, helped us prioritise our first steps, given advice on things that are essential and possible ways to achieve our purposes. She has helped with documentation, training and walking along with us to make it seem achievable, each step of the way. We hope the things we have been putting in place will help us now and others who come even after we’ve moved away. Child protection is such an important thing to do well. Sarah’s input, guidance and support have been indispensable.
