Child Protection Training
UT is committed to promoting a safe environment for minors attending summer camps, educational workshops, cultural events and programs such as 4-H. Training is a key provision of UT’s policy on programs for minors.
All employees who meet the policy’s definition of a “program director” or “covered adult” must undergo training on preventing, recognizing, reporting and addressing child abuse once every two years.
