This interactive workshop introduces a practical tool for developing, implementing, and strengthening youth protection policies in higher education. Participants will explore strategies for engaging stakeholders, setting timelines, and planning policy development, training, and communication.

HEPNet’s Annual Conference is a 4-day gathering of 150+ youth protection professionals, sponsors, and partners featuring deep-dive learning, educational breakout sessions, pre-conference sessions, and purposeful networking.

Who owns youth protection at your institution? Is it compliance, risk management, legal counsel, or someone else entirely? When responsibility is shared across departments, accountability can become unclear, and no one may feel fully equipped to take the lead.

Join HEPNet for this free session as we unpack one of the most common questions in higher education youth protection and explore how institutions can create shared responsibility, clarify roles, and strengthen coordination across campus. Everyone is invited to join this conversation and explore what it takes to make youth protection an integrated part of effective youth programming.
