Peerless Insurance said it will hold five free seminars across New Hampshire and Vermont in April designed to assist school officials in developing a policy to deal with sexual misconduct.
Peerless, a Liberty Mutual Agency Markets regional company that provides various coverages to 300 school districts and private schools in northern New England, said the seminars are intended for superintendents, principals, resource officers and school risk managers, but are open to all school officials.
The seminars will include discussions on educator sexual misconduct, abuser and victim profiles, as well as information about developing, implementing and communicating a "meaningful sexual harassment policy."
Steve Deig, loss prevention manager, Liberty Mutual Agency Markets, said, "Schools have a responsibility to know who they hire, remove opportunities for harassment and recognize indicators of abuse. There is much that can be done to improve safety, security and reporting. It starts with an attentive, well-trained staff, and implementing and enforcing strong policies and practices."
The seminars will be held:
o April 7 at Doubletree Hotel – Burlington, Vt.
o April 8, Holiday Inn Express – Brattleboro, Vt.
o April 8, Highlander Inn – Manchester, N.H.
o April 9, The Margate on Winnipesaukee – Laconia, N.H.
