Sexual Violence Prevention
Description: Safe students learn better, and a strong school climate starts with prevention. The Second Step® Child Protection Unit for Early Learning through Grade 5 helps schools take a shared, proactive approach to child safety that centers student well-being and trust.
Through age-appropriate instruction, students learn to recognize unsafe situations, seek help, and assert boundaries, while adults align on consistent practices for recognizing concerns and responding appropriately. The result is a safer, more supportive environment and a clear, scalable child protection strategy.

Parent Memo: By the 2026-2027 school year, all Department schools will provide annual, developmentally appropriate SVP instruction, covering bodily autonomy, recognizing and reporting sexual abuse, and accessing trusted resources.

In accordance with the Department’s standard procedures, you may choose to opt-out your child from participating in SVP instruction.
