Does your YSO need a child protection policy?

Are you writing a policy and feel like you are drinking out of a fire hose?

Are you confused about what your existing child protection policy needs?

A solid, workable child protection policy is essential for every YSO. If you don’t have a good policy, you may face claims that threaten your organization’s reputation and even its very existence. Even worse, if you have a policy that you don’t follow consistently, you can find yourself trying to explain why you didn’t live up to your own standards.
