Los propósitos de la Junta de Revisión son:
- Aconsejar a los SP sobre acciones pastorales y disciplinarias apropiadas cuando se hayan hecho alegatos sustanciales contra un SP.
- Aconsejar a los SP sobre acciones pastorales y disciplinarias apropiadas cuando se hayan hecho alegatos sin fundamento contra un SP.
- Este rol es particularmente importante en situaciones en que las autoridades civiles no estén involucradas, decidan no involucrarse o estén involucradas pero no dictaminen de ninguna forma definitiva; p.ej., que no presenten cargos.
- Revisar planes de intervención y planes de seguridad que estén en acción con miembros SP.
- Revisar y aconsejar a los SP en su política de protección de menores y la forma en que manejan asuntos de protección de menores.
La Junta de Revisión estará compuesta por al menos cinco miembros, de los cuales todos son de alta integridad y buen juicio. Al menos un miembro tendrá experiencia en la prevención de abuso de menores, y al menos un miembro será una mujer. Los miembros de la EDE no serán una mayoría en el Panel.
Los miembros de la Junta de Revisión serán nombrados por el Anciano Regional y aprobados por la junta corporativa de la región, el Anciano Presidente, el Administrador Mayor, y el Coordinador Regional Externo de la EDE correspondiente.
Los miembros de la Junta de Revisión servirán por plazos de cinco años.
Los miembros de la Junta de Revisión se reunirán al menos una vez al año con el Anciano Regional y el OPM regional. Las reuniones pueden ser hechas por conferencia virtual.
Cuando no haya eventos o problemas específicos que requieran la acción de la Junta en el momento en que se hace la reunión, esta se usará por los SP como un vehículo externo de actualización y rendición de cuentas.
El AR y el moderador de la Junta de Revisión se asegurarán que el Panel reciba entrenamiento adecuado para cumplir sus tareas.
