Volunteers must acknowledge the following Child Protection Policy Summary.

Purpose
Like You Film Club (LYFC) is committed to providing a safe, positive, and family-friendly environment for all children and youth. This policy helps protect minors, families, and volunteers during LYFC programs and events.

Who This Applies To
All LYFC staff, volunteers, interns, board members, contractors, and partners are required to follow these guidelines.

Family Participation & Supervision

  • LYFC programs are designed for family participation in public settings.

  • Children are expected to be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

  • Program staff and volunteers are not responsible for unsupervised children; parental supervision ensures the safety of all participants.

Core Principles

  • Child Safety First: The safety and well-being of children always come first.
  • Zero Tolerance: No physical, emotional or sexual abuse, harassment, or neglect.

  • Respect & Inclusion: Every participant is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.

  • Accountability: Staff and volunteers must report concerns and follow child safety standards.

Volunteer Code of Conduct

  • Treat all children and families with respect and professionalism.

  • Maintain appropriate boundaries—avoid private or personal contact with minors.

  • Never engage in or allow bullying, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior.

  • Report concerns immediately if you see or suspect unsafe or inappropriate conduct.

Reporting Procedures

  • Report concerns to the Executive Director, Board Member, or Shift Leader right away.

  • To report child abuse or neglect in Tennessee, call the Child Abuse Hotline at 877-237-0004.

  • Police/911: For emergencies

Policy Review

This policy is reviewed annually by the LYFC Board of Directors and updated as needed to reflect current laws and best practices.
