Children on Campus

Important Updates

A new policy — SPG 601.91 Clery Act Compliance — outlines the expectations of the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security and employees designated as CSAs in the university’s compliance with the Clery Act.  Adults working with minors have been identified as CSAs and must complete the mandatory training annually in addition to the required CoC training modules. Any questions related to Clery training requirements can be directed to CleryAct-Compliance@umich.edu.

Interacting with Children

Progress: 0%
  • Employ the “Rule of 3’s”
    • Do not be alone with an individual minor. If one-on-one interaction is necessary, meet in open, well-illuminated spaces or rooms with windows observable by other authorized adults or program staff, unless the one-on-one interaction is expressly authorized by the program administrator or is being undertaken by a healthcare provider
  • Do not meet with minors outside established times for program activities. Any exceptions require written parental authorization and must include more than one authorized adult or program staff.
  • Do not engage in any abusive conduct of any kind toward, or in the presence of, a minor, including, but not limited to, verbal abuse, striking, hitting, punching, poking, spanking, or restraining
  • If restraint is necessary to protect a minor or minors from harm, you must
    document all incidents and disclose them to the program administrator and the minor’s parent/guardian
