Summer break is just about here! ☀ 🌈 And with that, thousands of children and youth head off to summer camp. While many will return home with wonderful memories of fun-filled days, making new friends, or meeting up with old ones, the unfortunate reality is that camp is not a safe place for everyone. The possibility of sexual abuse also exists at summer camps. Because of this, it is important that parents and caregivers know how to properly screen a camp and ask questions about their policies and procedures before attending. Some important questions to ask are: 1) Are criminal background checks (including the sex offenders registry) performed on all personnel? How many references does the camp require, and how does the camp check them? 2) What training do staff members receive about child sexual abuse? 3) How are campers made aware of what to do if they feel unsafe? 4) Under what circumstances are staff members allowed to be alone with a camper? 5) How does the camp monitor behavior of older campers with their younger peers? 6) Are at least two adult counselors assigned to sleep in each cabin? 7) Who is responsible for enforcing camp rules and regulations? Asking intentional questions should give you a good idea of the camp's dedication (or lack thereof) to camper safety - allowing you to make an informed decision as a guardian. #awareness #preventit #bebrave

Last year, we made a #Pledge4Change to empower everyone to openly discuss abuse and violence with loved ones, within our communities, and workplaces. This year, we’ve taken action by delivering training to organisations, enhancing their confidence in responding to disclosures, providing essential support, and creating a supportive team environment. Discussing abuse can be challenging, and for many, a colleague may be a more approachable confidant. Our professional training is tailored to support you with the knowledge needed to make a real impact. "Trainers were very knowledgeable and some good signposting and resources that I will be able to use in my role.” - Recent training attendee Take your next step in supporting those affected by domestic abuse or sexual violence.
