Annual Statement: Child Protection Program at FSC

To Faculty and Staff:

At Farmingdale State College, safeguarding the well-being of children involved in our programs, events, and activities remains a top priority. We are committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all minors who participate in College-affiliated programs.

As a reminder, all departments must comply with SUNY and campus policies when planning and conducting activities that involve children. According to SUNY Policy 6505, a “child” is defined as anyone under the age of 17 who is not a matriculated student.

Faculty and staff who wish to organize a program, event, or research activity involving minors must review The Child Protection Policy and submit a Request to Conduct Programs or Activities Involving Children Form at least 30 days prior to the planned activity.

If you have any questions about child protection procedures or specific programs involving minors, please contact Paula Renda, internal control officer and compliance coordinator.

Thank you for your continued commitment to ensuring the safety and care of children within the FSC community.
