No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781961293083 Hatherleigh Press

A one-of-a-kind guide for youth-serving organizations to help build out their own child protection policies in just 120 days.

Expert guidance, worksheets, and checklists take the guesswork out of confusing industry standards--so you can focus on helping kids learn, grow, and flourish.

Written by two legal experts with more than 60 years of experience helping youth-serving organizations (YSOs), Protecting Other People's Children provides a blueprint for organizations to develop their own child safety policies.

From private schools to church youth groups to mentoring organizations to summer camps, YSOs provide unparalleled opportunities for children to learn, grow, and flourish. Unfortunately, because they serve a vulnerable population, those groups also face unparalleled risks.

With Protecting Other People's Children, organizations will be able to:

  • Recognize and avoid common pitfalls and mistakes
  • Set up a workable timeline for implementation
  • Create and confirm their own commitments and principles
  • Access several supportive worksheets, checklists, and activity guides
  • Learn how to pick the right people (leaders, team, volunteers, etc.)
  • Understand and adhere important protocols and guidelines
  • Appropriately respond to serious incidents

Protecting Other People's Children enables YSOs to develop robust, sustainable child protection plans, holding everyone accountable while protecting both the programs and the minors they serve.

Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law
<em>The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law</em> presents cutting-edge scholarship on a broad range of topics covering the life course of humans from before birth to adulthood, by leading scholars in law, medicine, social work, sociology, education, and philosophy, and by practitioners in law and medicine. An international collection of authors presents and analyzes the law and science pertaining to reproduction&#x3b; prenatal life (including fetal exposure to toxic substances and abortion)&#x3b; parentage (including biology-based rights, background checks on birth parents, adoption, the status of gamete donors, and surrogacy)&#x3b; infant development and vulnerability&#x3b; child maltreatment (including corporal punishment and religious defences to abuse and neglect)&#x3b; child protection policy and systems&#x3b; foster care&#x3b; child custody disputes between parents or between parents and other caregivers&#x3b; schooling (including financing, resegregation, religious expression in public schools, at-risk students, special education, regulation of private schools, and homeschooling)&#x3b; delinquency&#x3b; minimum-age laws&#x3b; and child advocacy. Most chapters follow a format wherein they first describe the most debated or dynamic issues in each topical area, then explain in depth the law and/or science pertaining to the author's particular focus, and finally offer arguments and recommendations as to law and policy in that area. The normative component aims to advance discussions and debates in vital areas of contemporary child welfare law and policy. The <em>Handbook</em> is an essential resource for scholars and professionals interested in the intersection of children and the law.
