I can remember participating on a panel of experts representing different professional positions discussing the topic of abuse prevention among the vulnerable sector.  The question was asked “There have been many changes and additions to the standard of protection over the course of the last fifteen years…. When will it come to an end! Have we seen the last of the additional requirements that will be placed on us? What else could be missing?"

When we work and volunteer in organizations that serve the vulnerable sector (children, youth, and vulnerable adults), it is inevitable that we are participating in activities with heightened risks.  When deciding on the activities that are higher risk activities, whose responsibility is it to decide?
