Home / Training / Training Parents & Other Caregivers
Parents and other caregivers need to receive, at a minimum, the same level of prevention education as their child/youth. Parents can be strong representatives and advocates in promoting the safety of their child/youth during participation in educational, sport, cultural, religious/faith, or recreational activities. Because parents and caregivers bring their own experiences and cultural contexts to this issue, you’ll need to be thoughtful in both presenting accessible information and in facilitating discussions.
Keep issues of food, transportation, and childcare in mind when engaging parents/caregivers in education about child sexual abuse. For example, when hosting meetings or workshops with parents on a workday evening, childcare and dinner for parents and their children could be considered, as well as transportation for those parents and children who might not be able to access the prevention education otherwise.
Your education for parents and caregivers should incorporate both education specific to child sexual abuse, and education about your organization’s child sexual abuse prevention policies and procedures. Here are some elements that should be included in your training program for this audience:
Caregivers should be informed about your child sexual abuse prevention policies and procedures so they know what your organization expects of them—and what they can expect from your organization and your employees/volunteers.
