This year, the University is requiring anyone who works with minors on or off-campus
to adhere to all appropriate standards of conduct with regard to minors, their families, and each
other. Program staffs at Boston University accept a legal duty to conduct their
programs/activities in a manner that assures the safety and well-being of all participants. In order
to assure that the University maintains a safe environment for all members of the BU community
and beyond, including minor children under the age of 18, the following guidelines and standards
of conduct will apply for all program/activity operators and employees. For good measure, we
are now going to require all volunteers to fill out these forms:
CORI Acknowledgement form – You must also bring in a state issued ID
(license/passport)
Release and Authorization Form
Disclosure and Acknowledgement Form
FCRA Summary of Rights Form- This form is for you to look over and keep. Do not
return it to us.
Because CT is working directly with minors, you must read these guidelines:
1.
Appropriate Behavior and Boundaries with Minors: All program/activity staff, must avoid
being alone with a minor, particularly in areas that are not part of the regular daily operation of the
program/activity, such as vehicles and/or isolated areas or rooms on campus. If a meeting with a
minor must take place in an office, keep the door open and have another staff member in the room,
whenever possible. Never be alone with a child in a dorm room or a staff member’s room. Never
shower or change clothes around minors, or in an area that is accessible to children. Avoid any
physical contact with minors that could be misinterpreted: an occasional pat on the back, or a touch
on the arm to get one’s attention is acceptable; back rubs, massages, tickling, rough-house play and
caressing or intimate touching is inappropriate and unacceptable. Do not take photographs of
children for personal use. If staff is given photographs of children, do not post them on social
networking sites or publish them in any other form. Families must give written consent to a
program/activity operator before any photographs of their child can be used or published publicly.
2.
Communication with Minors: If it is necessary to take a minor aside for a private
conversation relating to behavior or some other issue s/he wants to discuss, do so in full view of other
people, or in the presence of a second adult. During conversation, do not disclose confidential
information about yourself or seek to learn confidential information about the minor (particularly
about sex, sexual orientation, and physical or emotional intimacy). Use words with care: never
berate, harass, intimidate, degrade or belittle a child. Issue praise appropriately, and avoid excessive
praise or criticism of any minor. Do not tell sexually-oriented or off-color jokes to or in the
presence of minors. Also remember that young children interpret information in concrete ways and
they typically do not understand idioms or abstract language. Using concrete language will help to
avoid any misinterpretations or confusion on the part of the minor.
If you suspect or have reason to believe that a child has been abused or neglected, or if a child
confides in you that s/he has been abused or neglected, you must immediately report your
concerns to the Program Manager and/or the Community Service Center at 617-353-4710.
