Public Risk Management

In this episode, Joaquina Scott Kankam, Director and Senior Consultant at School of Solutions, addresses what Risk Management Professionals misunderstand about Youth Protection and the subsequent issues that occur because of it. The biggest challenge is that the requirements of the current federal law are not fully comprehensive, and leads to insufficient procedures and policies. Her experience as an educator and specialization on creating youth programs provided first hand experiences of negligence and the need for better protection for youth in organizations. She also shares the importance for better awareness, enhancing state laws and growing data collection.
