Enough! Prevent Child Abuse Vermont

Preventing Child Sexual Abuse
in My School - MassKids

Target audience:  The program is designed for school employees, including teachers, administrators, counselors, coaches, office personnel, and support staff who work with children in grades K–12.

Cost: The course is made available to public and private schools on a $20 per learner cost. Administrators may preview the course at no cost. Discounts are available for multi-year agreements.

Content/Materials:  The course uses an interactive format to inform and engage participants. Teacher avatars guide participants through two scenarios of educator sexual misconduct.  To reinforce knowledge gains and support ongoing learning, a robust Resource Bank is included with downloadable booklets, handouts, videos, etc. Policy resources are included and serve as the basis for post-course follow-up discussions among school personnel and administrators.

Summary:This interactive one-hour online training course teaches school personnel about child sex abuse (CSA) and the steps they can take to prevent it. The course is specifically designed to address the fears and biases that hinder school personnel from identifying, reporting, and preventing CSA. Participants learn about the behaviors associated with grooming and the increased importance of reporting responsibilities. Evaluations consistently show that over 98% of participants would recommend the course to a colleague, and that the highly interactive format with realistic examples is engaging and easy to understand. Results of a randomized-controlled study of teachers in three states published in the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse found, at the highest level of statistical significance, increases in learner knowledge, ability to identify boundary-violating behaviors early, and willingness/confidence in reporting disclosed or suspected cases. The course is accredited for 1 Social Work continuing education hour by NASW-MA.
