youth protection
Shielding the young
Youth protection refers to policies, programs, and practices designed to safeguard children and adolescents from harm, abuse, or exploitation.
The term appears frequently in organizational contexts—schools, sports leagues, religious institutions, and youth-serving nonprofits typically have youth protection policies requiring background checks, training, and supervision protocols.
All volunteers must complete youth protection training before working with minors.
