Organizations that bring children under the age of 17 to visit campus must review the SUNY-wide Child Protection Policy and the Policy on Mandatory Reporting and Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse.  In addition, all organizations must review the following and must agree to abide by the following through the submission of this form:

• All staff and volunteers are required to review the SUNY Child Protection Policy and the Policy on Mandatory Reporting and Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse.
• Acknowledge that Sex Offender Registry searches have been conducted on all staff and volunteers in accordance with the Policy;
• Conduct a search of all staff and volunteers who will be responsible for youth through the NY Sex Offender Registry and the National Sex Offender Public website within the (90) day period preceding the sponsored activity;  
• Retention of the records of the results of each search;
• Adhere to the minimum staff-to-child supervision ratios
  • 9 – 14 years: 1 staff for each 10 children;
  • 15-16 years: 1 staff for each 12 children;
• At least 80% of its staff and volunteers are 18 years of age or older;
• Staff and volunteers have training specific to the program or activity; and
• The overall supervisor for each program and activity is an adult with certification or documented training and/or experience in that program or activity.
  

NOTE:  The policy outlines a minimum staff-to-child ratio, however to ensure that children are being supervised at all times it may be necessary to provide more staff especially if there are break-out sessions that may divide the group of children as each group will require supervision during the program or activity.

By submitting this form you are acknowledging and agreeing to the protection policy outlined above.
