I. Purpose
|
|
|
To protect the safety of young visitors and to avoid
disruptive behavior, children accompanying employees, students, or visitors
of Central Piedmont Community College must be under the constant supervision
of a responsible adult while on CPCC property or on the site of any
approved off-campus class or other CPCC event. Employees of the
College have assigned duties and cannot take supervisory responsibility for
any unattended children of employees, students, or visitors. Children
should not be unattended in any College facility at any time.

II. Guidelines
|
|
|
A. The College assumes
no responsibility or liability for children, nor for any accidents or injuries
to children. For the purposes
of this policy, a child is defined as any youth under the age of 16 who is
not officially registered in a CPCC class.
B. Students, faculty,
and staff are expected to arrange for their personal childcare away from
the work site. In emergency situations, if it is necessary for the
employee to bring a child to the workplace during working hours, the
employee’s supervisor must approve. Sick children are not to be
brought to campus.
C. Children
accompanying employees, students, or visitors are not permitted in classes,
labs, or other learning environments without the permission of the
instructor or appropriate college personnel. College syllabi will
include notice of this policy.
D. Persons receiving
CPCC services may be refused service if accompanied by a child who will be
unattended during the time the patron is receiving services. College
staff will not be expected to provide supervision of such children.
E. A violation of this
policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action.

III. Procedures
|
|
|
If an unattended
child is observed on campus, the CPCC employee observing the child should
attempt to obtain the child’s name and then report the situation
immediately to CPCC Security. Security will attempt to locate the
child’s (children’s) parent/s or legal guardian/s or caregiver to remedy
the situation. If the parent or guardian or caregiver cannot be found
in a reasonable amount of time, Security may refer the situation to the
Department of Social Services or other appropriate agency.
