NCPSA & The International Taskforce on Child Protection

Universities:

Why should you attend?

Who should attend?
Professors, faculty, and staff working in academic affairs, admissions, alumni services, campus safety and security, dean of students’ office, diversity and equality, human resources, mental health and well-being, policy, safeguarding and student services.

• Gain insights into how your university or college can protect and support students from diverse cultures
