The University of Alabama in Huntsville (“UAH”) is committed to maintaining a supportive and safe educational environment, one which seeks to enhance the well-being of all members of its community. This commitment reflects the institution’s adherence to its mission, to its various policies supporting its mission, and to relevant state and federal laws. Within that commitment, UAH places importance on creating a secure environment for children. To that end, UAH has adopted a child protection policy and procedures.
In order to ensure the safety and well-being of children, individuals, including UAH faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and representatives as well as third-party vendors and their employees, representatives, or volunteers that contract for use of UAH facilities, with responsibilities that involve interaction with children (collectively “UAH personnel”), must carefully review and abide by the policy regarding abuse.
