Child-Protection Resources for Childcare
Providers
While we don’t know the exact numbers of children who participate
in childcare programs, every year it is possible millions of children
are involved in diverse programs. They are at the program site for anywhere
from a few hours when participating in before or after-school programs
to days when participating in camping programs.
The purpose of Child-Protection Resources for Childcare Providers
is to provide specific resources about preventing the victimization of
children in these environments and identifying child victims who may be
participating in these programs.
This resource list will assist the organizations hosting these programs
in their recruitment, screening, training, and supervision of caregivers
who interact with children. It will also provide reporting hotlines, information,
and safer facility design ideas.
Such organizations may be an attractive setting for those who seek to
victimize children. Thus it is imperative for organizations to keep this
in mind when recruiting and supervising personnel. And it is also imperative
for organizations to do everything in their power to make their programs
for children the safe and happy experiences they are meant to be.
These resources are provided by the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children (NCMEC) as a public service. Except for the information
directly relating to NCMEC, NCMEC does not sponsor or endorse these resources,
cannot guarantee the content of any online resource, and assumes no liability
for the accuracy or use of this information.
