Commitment to Kids – Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training
“The Commit to Kids program helps child-serving organizations reduce the risk of sexual abuse and create safer environments for children in their care.
The program’s tools provide organizations with information on the issue of child sexual abuse which forms the basis for educated policies and procedures — from hiring and screening to reporting and staff training. This enables all employees and volunteers throughout an organization to uphold standards of conduct that protect children and youth in their care by focusing on healthy interaction between adults and children.”

On December 2, 2020 I completed the Commitment to Kids – Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training. This training provided a digital module learning space and ended with a formal assessment in order to receive certification.
The goal of this training is to equip educators with the knowledge to reduce the risk of sexual abuse in schools and create a safer environment for all. This training included 8 modules that ran around 2.5 hours. This training taught me the skills to create a safe classroom environment and how to identify, recognize, and deal with signs of child sexual abuse confidently. This training additionally ran through the proper produces for reporting and policies that are in place to protect the privacy and safety of children.
This training helped me understand the importance of my role in protecting young children from danger and abuse. I now feel confident in my ability to properly address and report an issue I may encounter.
Down below I have attached my certificate of completion.
