June 11, 2025 — Toronto, ON: Whether you’re managing care for vulnerable adults or supporting children and youth, the risks are real — and the consequences far-reaching. Ecclesiastical Insurance has developed two risk bulletins to help community-serving organizations strengthen their policies, safeguard the people in their care, and foster safer, more resilient communities.
Whether supporting children and youth or caring for vulnerable adults, organizations bear a profound duty of care. To help navigate these responsibilities, Ecclesiastical’s Risk Control Specialists have created practical resources tailored to the realities of non-profits, faith-based groups, care providers, and other community organizations.
“Safe communities are built on safe practices,” says Colin Robertson, Chief Risk Management & Customer Officer at Ecclesiastical Insurance. “Even well-intentioned organizations can face serious consequences without strong safeguards in place. These bulletins offer actionable guidance for everything from staff screening and training to reporting protocols and policy development.”
Developed by our Risk Control Specialists who work directly with clients across Canada, the bulletins respond to the growing need for inclusive, adaptable risk management in increasingly complex care environments.
The resources are available, free of charge, at the links below:
