EFFECTIVE DATE: January 2016
***********************************************************************************

Jack & Jill Children’s Center strives to provide a safe workplace for all team members. Team
members will be held to the highest standards regarding following and enforcing Safety Policies
and Procedures. Team members are expected to set the best possible example and to be
proactive regarding safety issues.

Team members must be keenly aware of their environment and persons who have entered any
facility. Anyone who is not recognized should be questioned regarding the nature of her or his
visit. Strangers should be escorted to the door. If you are uncertain or feel jeopardized seek
the assistance of a supervisor or a co-worker. NEVER LEAVE THE CHILDREN UNATTENDED
WITH A VISITOR/STRANGER/VOLUNTEER. Team members who do not question and/or escort
strangers out of the building will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including
termination.

Local police will be called, if necessary, to deal with safety issues.

All team members must be familiar with and adhere to the rules for releasing children. Refer to
the Custody and Release of Children Policy contained in the Jack & Jill Children’s Center Family
Handbook.

Any unusual incidents should be documented and brought to the attention of your supervisor
immediately.

Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, including termination.
