All students participating in a Center for Social program need to submit a Waiver of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement. Depending on the type of work you are completing, additional trainings may be required. Please continue reading more about our policies and trainings below to determine if anything additional is required.
Required Online Trainings Youth Serving
All students working with children should view JHU’ s Child Safety in University Programs Policy. All participants in CSC programs are responsible for upholding this policy.
Many CSC programs work with children( under 18 years of age). Those students who are working with children are required to complete JHU’ s online child safety training prior to service. The training discusses your responsibility as a volunteer / student working with children. It will also provide best practices when working with children, types of abuse, and process of reporting suspected abuse or neglect of a child.
For more information, read the Child Safety Policy below. Health Advocacy and Health Related
The Center for Social Concern worked with different departments and offices, university wide, to create guidelines for CSC student groups who provide health advocacy and / or volunteer in clinical related settings. As a result of these meetings, we learned that there are certain university policies that CSC student groups must follow while working with and in the community when it comes to health issues.
CSC student group volunteers must:
1. complete blood borne pathogen education program( see blood borne pathogen online training below)
2. complete HIPAA training( see HIPAA online training below).
CSC student group volunteers cannot:
• administer over-the counter or prescription medications, vaccines or any other treatment preventative or otherwise
• handle medical devices for the use of patient care including without limitation to lancets, needles, and glucometers or engage in any medical screening activities( ie. blood pressure screenings, body mass index blood glucose, etc.)
