Minors Protection

Requirements

The details of the requirements will vary depending on the category the specific Minors Activity falls into. The Minors Protection Office will advise Activity Administrators on their Minors Activity’s requirements based on their activity registration.

Activity Administrators are responsible for registering their Minors Activity in Brown’s Minors Protection Portal a minimum of 30 days prior to the activity start date. Recurring Minors Activities must be re-registered annually.
Criminal background checks are used to aid in determining an individual’s suitability to engage with minors in a Minors Activity. The details of the background check requirements vary depending on the type of Minors Activity.
It is critical that all adults who engage with minors understand the expectations for their behavior. Minors protection training is required annually for Activity Adults in Brown and Non-Brown Activities.

Adults must work to actively foster respectful and appropriate environments in which minors are able to thrive. Adults must always serve as positive role models for minors - acting in a responsible, respectful, and caring manner.
Brown has standardized release and media consent forms for use by Brown Activities. Any individualized forms must be approved by the Office of the General Counsel.
