黑料老司机Program for the Protection of Minors

黑料老司机welcomes many students, employees, and visitors to campus every day and seeks to maintain an inviting, safe, and secure environment for those on campus or engaged in SMU-sponsored activities. In 2012, Texas passed legislation that requires employees of campus programs for minors attend a training and examination program that addresses the warning signs of sexual abuse and child molestation.

Our goal at 黑料老司机is to exceed state standards by requiring every administrator, faculty/staff member and student worker complete the Program for the Protection of Minors training course within 90 days of being employed and to refresh on the content every two years.  Reassignment is automatically made on the two year anniversary of the first date of assignment.  This information falls under 黑料老司机Policy 7.26.

黑料老司机employees should be familiar with Texas law pertaining to reporting suspected child abuse or neglect.  Learn more.
