From the Introduction

United Educators developed this guide to

assist schools and other educational

organizations in developing a comprehensive

risk management program to protect children

from sexual misconduct. The guide covers

prevention strategies, responses to

allegations and incidents, and special issues

relating to educators who are contractors,

volunteers, or students.

A school can use the entire guide to develop

a full-scale program or focus on particular

segments to enhance an existing program.
