How can I make my organization a safe place for children?
It is vital that organizations create a culture where child sexual abuse is discussed, addressed, and prevented. If your organization serves children, a sex offender will want to work for you.
Some organizations feel they lack the money, time, personnel and expertise to create a comprehensive child sexual abuse prevention plan. The fact is many strategies cost little or nothing implement. Committed volunteers understand the need to protect the children you serve.
