"I found this report echoed the call of importance to practicing sound abuse prevention measures in all youth serving organizations.  Insurance carriers need to understand that your organization, from leadership to volunteers, promotes a culture of safety and empowerment that prevents all forms of abuse."

Who Is Praesidium?

Praesidium is the leading innovator of scientifically-based solutions designed to transform the way organizations approach the prevention of sexual abuse. Praesidium’s expertise, consulting, and solutions help to foster safer environments for children, vulnerable adults, staff, volunteers, and all parties involved. For over 30 years, Praesidium has trained more than one million people online and hundreds of thousands in person.

As the largest and most comprehensive sexual abuse risk management firm globally, Praesidium knows how sexual abuse happens and, more importantly, how to prevent it.

The Framework of What We Do

Using current research and root-cause analysis, Praesidium developed its own abuse risk management model, The Praesidium Safety Equation®. Root-cause analysis of several thousand incidents of sexual abuse across industries demonstrated that risks fell into eight organizational operations: Policies, Screening and Selection, Training, Monitoring and Supervision, Internal Feedback Systems, Consumer Participation, Responding, and Administrative Practices. By implementing best practices in each of these operations, Praesidium determined that risks could be reduced or eliminated.
