The University of Chicago is committed to safeguarding the well-being of children. The Policy on the Safety of Children in University Programs was adopted to set registration, screening, training, and conduct requirements for those individuals who are involved with University programs that serve children. Requirements of this policy apply to faculty, academic appointees, postdoctoral researches, staff, student employees, volunteers, and others. The purpose of the policy is to promote the protection of children, fulfill our obligations as mandated by law, and provide the best possible experience for children visiting our campuses or involved in University-related programs.
