The prevalence of physical and sexual abuse and molestation are occurring too often within schools. Implementing policies and providing mandated reporter training to staff are simply not enough. It is vital that districts create a culture to prevent such incidents through a comprehensive approach which includes a district’s governing board, administrators, staff, parents and students. Child abuse prevention needs to begin with understanding the prevalence of this issue both nationally and at a state level, identifying victims and the abusers and finally implementing prevention strategies. Districts cannot afford to ignore this problem from either a moral, ethical or financial perspective. One abused student is one too many.
As always, there is no charge to ASCIP members or our invited guests to attend this training.
