Series Includes 22 Expert-Authored Microlearning Courses to Help School Staff Recognize and Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
Tampa, FL - September 16, 2020 - Vector Solutions, a leader in eLearning and performance optimization solutions, has launched a training series for K-12 school districts focused on child sexual abuse prevention. This series supports an overall strategic prevention program, which is becoming the new standard of care held by schools across the country. Child sexual abuse is a very tragic and prevalent reality, with an estimated 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys experiencing sexual abuse before the age of 18. Additionally, 55-60% of child molestation occurs at the hands of an individual outside the family that the child knows and trusts, with schools even being prime locations for abusers to target children. Available through its SafeSchools Training System, Vector’s Child Sexual Abuse Prevention in Schools Series includes content authored by child sexual abuse prevention expert, Diane Cranley, and helps prepare K-12 school staff to recognize and interrupt attempts at child sexual abuse before they happen. Each short microlearning course effectively engages the learner so they retain the knowledge. Courses are broken down by grade levels to help identify the unique characteristics of sexual grooming at different age ranges at the Elementary, Middle, and High school levels. “Training our teachers and school staff to recognize the signs and interrupt potential child sexual abuse before it happens is one of the most important things we can do to help protect students,” said Vector Solutions Executive Vice President Alex Berry. “This very important series features expert-authored content that focuses on sound principles to help empower educators to be part of the solution against child predators.” With its 22 expert-authored microlearning courses, Vector’s Child Sexual Abuse Prevention in Schools Series helps teachers and school staff and administrators prevent sexual abuse before it happens by:- Educating the school community on signs of abuse in children and risky behaviors in child molesters that are apparent before abuse happens
- Raising awareness of the risk of sexual abuse in and through schools
- Keeping the subject top of mind and engaging the school community
