Abstract

The AISA Child Protection Handbook is divided into sections that provide the context and rationale for the creation of a child protection framework, guidance for the development of policies and procedures; suggestions for an annual calendar of activities; links to curriculum resources; and suggestions for connecting to local, national, and international resources dedicated to the legal, investigative, social service and advocacy needs of abused and neglected children and their families. Multiple appendices provide a code of conduct; a step-by-step process outlining how AISA schools can begin or review child protection programs at their school; protocols for handling disclosures; and suggestions for monitoring a school child protection program – all of which can be adapted to individual school culture and need.
