Cultural Barriers to Protecting Kids
Youth- serving organizations may face many cultural barriers when making a decision to implement a child sexual abuse prevention program or in getting their staff members to report suspected abuse. It's important to recognize these barriers so that you can address them through open discussion with your team. I've provided a list of common barriers below for you to consider. Make note of the ones that apply to your organization, ask others what they think, and begin the dialog about how to overcome these barriers so that you can effectively protect the children in your care.
