Non-Brown Activities
Non-Brown Activities may provide their own comparable training or request to use Brown’s training - please contact the Minors Protection Office for assistance.
External Organization-Hosted Activities
Individuals participating in External Organization-Hosted Activities may be exempt from Brown's centralized training requirements but must comply with all requirements established by the external organization, which may include training.
Additional Requirements
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.
