- All employed music ministers who are on payroll.
- All music ministers hired as private contractors who may interact with children, young people, or vulnerable adults.
- All volunteer music ministers who may interact with children, young people, or vulnerable adults.
Music ministers that do not interact with children, young people, or vulnerable adults, should still be vetted to ensure that they are qualified and not a safety risk. For more information about this policy, please visit: https://doy.org/safe-environment/
