Join Ethan Johnson and Carissa Chipman from Chalmers Camp Insurance as they sit down with Bud Copeland from ACA New England in a recent ACA Partner Check-In. They discuss crucial hiring and screening practices to ensure a safe camp environment. They highlight common pitfalls such as the lack of comprehensive job descriptions for all positions, from cabin directors to maintenance staff. They emphasize the importance of including family members in the reference checks to identify potential abusers early. Additionally, they address the need for a standalone abuse prevention code of conduct that clearly outlines expectations and requires staff signatures, making it a permanent part of their HR files.
