Youth and Rotarian Protection Rotary International Youth Protection Policy Statement of Conduct for Working with Youth Rotary International strives to create and maintain a safe environment for all youth who participate in Rotary activities. To the best of their ability, Rotarians, Rotarians’ spouse, and partners, and other volunteers must safeguard the children and young people they come into contact with and protect them from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. (RCP )

Youth and Rotarian Protection Four Elements of Protecting Rotarians and Youth Two Deep Leadership – protects both youth and Rotarians. Training – create awareness among the membership to prevent abuse or harassment Event Planning – incorporate youth and Rotarian protection in your event planning. Background Checks – additional protection for Rotary from those with a criminal history

Youth and Rotarian Protection Protection from Abuse and Harassment Abuse – – Emotional or Verbal Abuse – Physical Abuse – Neglect – Sexual Abuse Harassment – – Sexual Harassment

Youth and Rotarian Protection Protection from Abuse and Harassment Emotional or Verbal Abuse Incidents in which an adult uses fear, humiliation or verbal assaults to control the behavior of a young person in his or her care

Youth and Rotarian Protection Protection from Abuse and Harassment Physical Abuse Mistreatment of a young person by use of physical contact intended to cause pain, injury or other physical suffering or harm.

Youth and Rotarian Protection Protection from Abuse and Harassment Neglect Failure to provide (for no apparent financial reason) adequate food, clothing, shelter or medical care necessary for a youth’s well-being.

Youth and Rotarian Protection Protection from Abuse and Harassment Sexual Abuse Engaging in implicit or explicit sexual acts with a young person or forcing or encouraging a young person to engage in implicit or explicit sexual acts alone or with another person of any age of the same or opposite sex. Among the examples of sexual abuse are nontouching offenses, such as indecent exposure or showing a young person sexual or pornographic material.

Youth and Rotarian Protection Protection from Abuse and Harassment Sexual Harassment Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. In some cases, sexual harassment precedes sexual abuse and is a technique used by sexual predators to desensitize or groom their victims.

Youth and Rotarian Protection Abuse and Harassment Prevention Abuse and Harassment Prevention RI has a zero-tolerance policy toward abuse and harassment. All Rotarians, clubs, and districts should follow the Statement of Conduct for Working with Youth and the RI guidelines for abuse and harassment prevention established by the general secretary, which include the following requirements:

Youth and Rotarian Protection Abuse and Harassment Prevention 1) An independent and thorough investigation must be made into any claims of sexual abuse or harassment. 2) Any adult involved in a Rotary youth program against whom an allegation of sexual abuse or harassment is made must be removed from all contact with youth until the matter is resolved. 3) Any allegation of sexual abuse or harassment must be immediately reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency, in accordance with RI’s zero-tolerance policy.

Youth and Rotarian Protection Abuse and Harassment Prevention 4) A club must terminate the membership of any Rotarian who admits to, is convicted of, or is otherwise found to have engaged in sexual abuse or harassment. A non-Rotarian who admits to, is convicted of, or is otherwise found to have engaged in sexual abuse or harassment must be prohibited from working with youth in a Rotary context. A club may not grant membership to a person who is known to have engaged in sexual abuse or harassment.

Youth and Rotarian Protection Abuse and Harassment Prevention 5) If an investigation into a claim of sexual abuse or harassment is inconclusive, then, for the safety of youth participants and the protection of the accused, additional safeguards must be put in place to ensure the protection of any youth with whom the individual may have future contact. If there are subsequent claims of sexual abuse or harassment, the adult shall be permanently prohibited from working with youth in a Rotary context. Regardless of criminal or civil guilt, the continued presence of the adult could be detrimental to the reputation of the organization and could be harmful to youth. It can also benefit the adult in preventing additional accusations from other youth. A person who is accused but later cleared of charges may apply to be reinstated to participate in youth programs. Reinstatement is not a right, and no guarantee is made that he or she will be instated to his or her former position. (RCP )

Youth and Rotarian Protection Failure to Comply with Youth Protection Laws Failure to Comply with Youth Protection Laws A club must appropriately address any allegations that one of its members involved in Rotary-related youth programs has violated youth protection laws. Any club that fails to do so may have its membership suspended or terminated by the RI Board. (RIB )
