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.
Minors Protection
Background Checks
Brown Activities
Background checks for Brown Activities will be centrally managed and centrally funded by the MPO. The activity registration form will trigger the appropriate background checks. To complete the activity registration form, log into the Minors Protection Portal.
Non-Brown Activities
Non-Brown Activities are required to conduct their own background checks in accordance with the Minors Protection Policy.
External Organized-Hosted Activities
Individuals participating in External Organization-Hosted Activities are exempted from Brown's centralized background check requirements.
Note: These individuals must comply with all requirements established by the external organization, which may include background checks. Please confirm all requirements with the external organization. The MPO does not manage or fund these requirements.
Additional Requirements
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.
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.
