CSAP 08 Off-site Boundaries

Whenever you take students off-site, you introduce additional risk simply because it’s an environment you don’t control. A formal pre-approval process slows everything down to ensure decisions for off-site trips are handled with a proactive evaluation of the need for the trip and the risk. It also ensures off-site trip requests are for the benefit of all students and not to gain access to an individual or small group of kids. We will cover the recommended board pre-approval process, individual off-site requests, parent chaperones, transportation, adequate supervision, hotel room etiquette, substance use, and international travel. This video will encourage and empower you to establish and enforce clear off-site travel boundaries that minimize the opportunity for the students in your care to be sexually abused.
