• For overnight events at the church and church-sponsored off-premise activities, two or more screened adults must be present. This arrangement must include at least one male and one female if the group is mixed gender.
Whenever KC transports children, youth, or other vulnerable people away from the church campus:
• No youth should drive to/from events.
• An adult should never transport a child/youth/other vulnerable person alone.
• Drivers of church vehicles should be approved and covered by the church’s insurance company.
• Drivers should go through the same screening process as all other paid/volunteer staff.
It is the policy of KC not to administer either prescription or non-prescription medications to the children under our care, unless prior written consent is given by the child’s guardian. Exceptions to the medications policy may be granted in an emergency.

Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment
In the event emergency medical treatment is required due to illness or injury while in the care of the Kennonsburg Church adults responsible, I authorize said adult(s) to :1. Secure and retain medical treatment and transportation if needed; and 2. Release child’s records upon request to the authorized individual or agency involved in the medical emergency treatment. This authorization includes x-ray, surgery, hospitalization, medication and any treatment procedure deemed “lifesaving” by the physician. This provision will only be invoked if the contact person(s) above is unable to be reached.
