Abuse Prevention Policies: The Why, What, & How-To's

Essential to effective abuse risk management, written policies set the stage for safe environments. Policies communicate an organization’s commitment to abuse prevention to its employees, volunteers, consumers, and the community in general. Policies also set the bandwidth of acceptable behavior between adults and vulnerable populations within organizational programs. This webinar will explore the policies your organization should have in place and the availability of written resources through Selective’s partnership with Praesidium.

Influence the Outcome of a Sexual Abuse Crisis

The media and legislative changes provide consistent reminders that organizations need to manage the risk of sexual abuse of a child or vulnerable adult. But what happens when the unthinkable happens and an allegation of abuse arises? The actions an organization takes in these critical initial moments and those that follow set the stage for a variety of emotions, opinions, and exposures that may last years. Praesidium has worked with clients around the world to prevent sexual abuse of vulnerable populations, to prevent false allegations of abuse, and to prevent the loss of reputation and revenue for organizations. We know that having the right abuse prevention and crisis-management systems in place can make all the difference. Praesidium will provide attendees insider knowledge that can influence the outcome of a crisis situation by assessing real-life scenarios to highlight what went wrong and what this means for your organization now and in the future.
