Youth Protection and Compliance

Third-party organizations and educational institutions may co-sponsor Covered Activities with the College. For co-sponsored programs, the College and the co-sponsor have a shared responsibility for the custody, control, and supervision of the children who are participating in the program. Third-party organizations that bring children under the age of 17 to visit or participate in co-sponsored programs must review in advance of the scheduled activity the SUNY-wide Child Protection Policy and the Policy on Mandatory Reporting and Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse.  Third-party organizations that are participating in co-sponsored programs must sign the Acknowledgment of Receipt of SUNY Oswego’s Child Protection Policy Conduct Requirements below and submit the form within 5 business days of the scheduled program. 

Acknowledgement of Child Protection Policy

Off-campus organizations that are given permission to use University facilities for Covered Activities must do so pursuant to completing a  Revocable Permit prior to the scheduled activity.  The Revocable Permit attached to the Child Protection Policy is for use with Covered Activities only.
