Ready to create a customized path toward understanding and preventing child/youth sexual abuse at your organization?
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to keeping children/youth safe from sexual abuse. That’s why we took an inclusive approach to creating this resource, addressing the child/youth protection needs and concerns of any organization, establishment, facility, small business, or club that provides services and activities for children/youth. With this inclusive focus, we present an evidence-based process with the building blocks that YSOs of every type need to create a comprehensive child sexual abuse prevention program. In this way, each YSO can assess and strengthen their current safety practices, or craft a safety program that applies to their community, function, culture, and circumstances.
Our recommended organizational changes and policy initiatives require leadership—not only in making the case for the new safety initiatives, but in ensuring a wide collaboration among all those who will be affected by them: managers, supervisors, employees, volunteers, parents, and children/youth. Collaboration must account for both the necessary strategies and the organizational culture in which the changes and new processes are going to take place. Maintaining forward movement in your safety program depends on monitoring, assessment, feedback, open lines of communication, encouragement, and sustained engagement—all focused on that one important outcome: child/youth safety.
