New child exploitation prevention resources available
The federal SchoolSafety.gov website serves as a one-stop access point for information, resources, guidance, and evidence-based practices on a range of school safety topics and threats. The website recently launched new resources to help schools prevent, identify and respond to child exploitation. The resources address the role of schools in:
- Assisting to identify and report suspected cases of child exploitation and abuse
- Raise awareness among students and families
- Build protective, positive school environments
- Support children impacted by child exploitation to connect them to critical services
