Policies for children and teen programming
This quick and easy checklist will walk you through the policy for using U-M facilities. See Third parties – use of facilities guidelines.
We require programs to meet all of the following guidelines and provide documentation to the facility manager:
- Complete a Third-Party Acknowledgment of Responsibility Form.
- Demonstrate proof of insurance for the duration of the program, event or activity occurring on university property.
- Inform participants that your program or activity is not sponsored by U-M.
- Provide proof that program or event authorized adults have completed background checks.
- Train staff and volunteers on policies and issues related to health, wellness, safety and security of children/teens, and document their completion.
- Obtain Liability Waiver agreements.
- Immediately report information indicating that a child or teen has, or is suspected to have been, abused or neglected, or other misconduct affecting the safety of children or teens.
- All U-M childcare facilities are licensed. For more information contact Work-Life Resource Center.
Go to the Program & Event Administrators page for complete information on registering programs, training staff and background checks.
