Abuse Prevention Policies & Procedures
Click HERE to view all abuse prevention policies and procedures.
Policies define the bandwidth of acceptable behavior in an organization. Because offenders often violate policies to gain access to youth, when staff know and understand policies, they can identify, interrupt, and report policy violations. Simply interrupting a policy violation can prevent a false allegation of abuse or put an offender on notice that no one works in private, the rules apply to everyone, and violations will be detected.
