Safeguarding the Interests of Young People_Training Manual and Handbook

This training course is intended to contribute to the development of the community as a whole - individuals, families, groups and institutions - and is for all community members, irrespective of whether or not they intend to carry out acts of service directly associated with children or young people under the age of 18. It aims to raise consciousness in the community about the challenges and opportunities which face young people in Aotearoa New Zealand. All protagonists in the Divine Plan share concern for and carry responsibilities towards the young people of the world who constitute the most precious treasure of every community. 

It is mandatory for all those aged 15 and above who wish to supervise, care for or teach children and young people at activities and events under the aegis of the Bahá'í institutions.
