Beau Biden Foundation providing child abuse prevention training for Indian River School District administrators, teachers
DAGSBORO – Administrators and teachers in the Indian River School District will receive child sexual abuse prevention training this summer through a special program sponsored by the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children.
Stewards of Children, the flagship program of the nonprofit organization Darkness to Light, teaches adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. This evidence-based program offers practical prevention training with a conversational, real-world approach.
Training will be provided to about 60 IRSD administrators on July 7 and to new teachers on Aug. 24.
“This is an excellent opportunity to provide valuable child abuse prevention training to our employees,” said IRSD Superintendent Dr. Susan Bunting. “Research shows that one in 10 children in the United States will be sexually abused before the age of 18. It is our responsibility as a public school district to do everything possible to reverse this trend. We are grateful to the Beau Biden Foundation for bringing this outstanding training program to our district.”
