School is meant to be a safe space for children. But with the number of adolescent offenders continuously rising, it is not always the case.
Also, although difficult to consider, there are times where the perpetrator is a parent or caregiver in the child’s own home. Outside education and encouragement is therefore paramount in saving the child’s life. Without it, you may c’’v lose the opportunity to save them.
Under the U.S. law, a teacher will be liable for not reporting disclosures if they left their student vulnerable. Studies show that the second most disclosed-to person after a parent is a teacher. Many scenarios need not be reported, but it is upon the caregiver to ensure the child is safe while in their care.
MagenU’s staff workshop educates the school faculty about mandated reporting, how to handle disclosures and even how to safely interact with their students, so they can feel safe and confident in their beautiful careers educating Hashem’s children.
