5 YMCA of the USA Child Abuse Prevention Training for Front-Line Staff Handout 10 Code of Conduct (for YMCA Staff & Volunteers) 1. To protect YMCA staff, volunteers, and program members, at no time during a YMCA program may a staff person be alone with a single child where he or she cannot be observed by others. As staff supervise children, they should space themselves in such a way the other staff can see them. 2. Staff shall never leave a child unsupervised. 3. Restroom supervision: Staff will make sure that the restroom is not occupied by suspicious or unknown individuals before allowing children to use the facilities. Staff will stand in the doorway of the restroom while children are using the restroom. This policy allows privacy for the children and protection for the staff (not being alone with child). If staff is assisting younger children, doors to the facility must remain open. No child, regardless of age, should ever enter a bathroom alone on a field trip or at other off-site location. Always send children in threes (known as the rule of three), and whenever possible, with staff. 4. Staff should conduct or supervise private activities in pairs diapering, putting on bathing suits, taking showers, and so on. When this is not feasible, staff should be positioned so that they are visible to others. 5. Indiana law requires the reporting of suspected abuse and neglect. According to the Indiana State Code for Child Abuse, a person commits a class B misdemeanor when he knowingly fails to make a report of child abuse or neglect. Any staff who has seen a child be abused or neglected OR has received a disclosure from a child regarding child abuse or neglect, should report to the local DCS immediately. The following actions should take place when reporting child abuse or neglect: Documentation of the witnessed or disclosed child abuse or neglect; include report date, eyewitness observations, and/or direct conversations. Also include name of child/children, ages of each child, address, and phone number. Contact direct supervisor to inform them of the situation. A supervisor will sit with any staff uncomfortable calling DCS. 6. Whistle Blower Rule: Staff who report any suspected child abuse can remain anonymous and are immune from all civil and criminal liability, provided they have made the report in good faith. 7. Staff shall not abuse children in any way, including Physical abuse striking, spanking, shaking, slapping, and so on; Verbal abuse humiliating, degrading, threatening, and so on; Sexual abuse touching, or speaking inappropriately; Mental abuse shaming, withholding kindness, being cruel; Neglect withholding food, water, or basic care. No type of abuse will be tolerated and may be cause for immediate dismissal. 8. Any staff member who is accused of abuse or neglect of a child in the program, their rights will be protected during the investigation proceedings. The staff member will be suspended until the

6 investigation clears the accused staff member. All children in the program are protected from the accused staff member due to suspension until all investigations clear the accused staff member of all allegations. 9. Staff must use positive techniques of guidance, including redirection, positive reinforcement, and encouragement rather than competition, comparison, and criticism. Staff will have age-appropriate expectations and set up guidelines and environments that minimize the need for discipline. Physical restraint is used only in predetermined situations (when necessary to protect the child or other children from harm), administered only in a prescribed manner, and must be documented in writing. 10. Staff will conduct a health check of each child upon his or her arrival each time the program meets, noting any fever, bumps, bruises, and so on. Questions or comments will be addressed to the parent or child in a non-threatening way. Staff will document and questionable marks or responses. 11. Staff will respond to children with respect and consideration and treat all children equally, regardless of sex, race, religion, culture, economic level of the family, or disability. 12. Staff will respect children s rights not to be touched or looked at in ways that make them feel uncomfortable, and their right to say no. Other than diapering, children are not to touched on areas of their bodies that would be covered by a bathing suit. 13. Staff will refrain from intimate displays of affection toward others in the presence of children, parents, and staff. 14. Staff is not to transport children in their own vehicles or allow youth participants old enough to drive to transport younger children in the program. 15. Staff must appear clean, neat, and appropriately attired. 16. Using, possessing, or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs during working hours is prohibited. 17. Smoking or use of tobacco in the presence of children or parents during working hours is prohibited. 18. Possession or use of any type of weapon or explosive device is prohibited. 19. Using YMCA computers to access pornographic sites, send s with sexual overtones or otherwise inappropriate messages, or develop online relationships is not allowed. 20. Profanity, inappropriate jokes, sharing intimate details of one s personal life, and any kind of harassment in the presence of children, parents, volunteers, or other staff is prohibited. 21. Staff may not be alone with children they meet in YMCA programs outside the YMCA. This includes babysitting, sleepovers, driving, or riding in cars, and inviting children to their homes. Any exceptions require a written explanation before the fact and are subject to prior administrator approval. 22. Staff must be free of physical or psychological conditions that might adversely affect children s physical or mental health. If in doubt, an expert should be consulted.

7 23. Staff will portray a positive role model for youth by maintaining an attitude of loyalty, patience, courtesy, tact, and maturity. 24. Staff should not give excessive gifts (e.g., TV, video games, jewelry) to youth. 25. Staff may not date program participants who are under the age of Under no circumstances should staff release children to anyone other than the authorized parent, guardian, or other adult authorized by the parent or guardian (written parent authorization on file with the YMCA). 27. Staff is to report to a supervisor any other staff or volunteer who violates any of the policies listed in the Code of Conduct. 28. Staff is required to read and sign all policies related to identifying, documenting, and reporting child abuse and attend trainings on the subject, as instructed by a supervisor. 29. Staff will act in a caring, honest, respectful, and responsible manner consistent with the mission of the YMCA. I understand that any violation of this Code of Conduct may result in termination.
