If a local church is to guard against false shepherds, we need to have policies in place for safeguarding, recruitment, and training. What sorts of issues should church leaderships be thinking about and how should they plan to protect the flock?

In this episode, Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Head of National Ministries) and John Stevens (FIEC National Director) discuss how churches can put policies in place to prevent abusive leadership.
