California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) is dedicated to the welfare and safety of minors who attend CSUB, participate as a visitor in our programs, or are entrusted in our care. As part of our commitment the Office of Safety and Risk Management has adopted appropriate measures to provide consistent guidance and structure that helps mitigate risk and prevent abuse against minors, as well as allegations against the University. The program intends to identify events and activities that serve, or otherwise engage youth, and establish standards and protocols for their safety and protection.
*Youth are individuals under the age of eighteen, who are not matriculated University students.
Training shall be completed annually or before program staff and volunteers begin
working with youth. The Program Director or designee is responsible for ensuring
that all training is completed, documented and tracked. CSU Learn training as per
established Youth Protection Training Matrix is required. The Managing Risk in Youth Programs Resource Guide is available for review. All Outside third-party organizations must carry the University Required Insurance
Coverage, including Abuse and Molestation Liability Insurance written on an “occurrence
basis”. Outside entities conducting activities with minors on a property, operated or controlled
by the University are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate background checks
are completed for its volunteers and employees. It is the policy of the California State University (CSU) to require all Management
Personnel Plan employees and all volunteers, to strongly encourage all other members
of the CSU community, to report child abuse and neglect occurring on CSU premises
(including CSUB) or at official activities conducted by the CSU (including CSUB). Detailed information, including categories of CSU employees who are Mandated Reporters, reporting requirements and procedures, and reporting forms is provided in Executive Order 1083 (revised July 21, 2017).Resources
