10-Year Operational Survey Review

For 10 years, we’ve been asking higher education youth protection professionals critical questions: What policies and structures are you using to safeguard minors at your institution?  From policies and training to background checks, registration, and reporting—what we’ve seen is clear: this field has grown significantly, and the impact is real. We’re seeing stronger infrastructure—more institutions have dedicated offices or roles leading these efforts, signaling a shift toward structured, accountable prevention frameworks. Most importantly, these safeguards have helped protect millions of minors across the U.S. This 10-year review reflects more than progress—it shows a field that continues to evolve, collaborate, and prioritize safety at scale.

For those in higher education needing to get buy-in, be sure to view our Risk Management Tools for Success, designed in collaboration with the American Camp Association and CampDoc, so that you can understand top trends, why it matters, and what to do next.

This Call to Action is for Youth Protection in College and University Athletic Programs and is a collaborative effort with the American Camp Association and the U.S. Center for SafeSport. This outlines basic measures that athletic teams and departments should be taking to protect the youth participating in programs.

For those interested in assessing the effectiveness of a youth protection program, view our September 2022 publication, Assessing the Effectiveness of your Youth Protection Program, which discusses the importance of assessment, self-assessment, external assessment, and how to institutionalize changes.
