Multigenerational Online Space
Part of UUA Youth Safety Guidelines
Parents/guardians are primarily responsible for supervising their children and youth’s participation in multigenerational spaces. This responsibility should be clearly communicated to parents so they can be sure their youth is signing in from a public space in the house (e.g. kitchen table) rather than private (e.g. bedroom out of sight). Parents/guardians need to be aware of any event that their child/youth has been invited to so they can supervise.
UUA events should clearly articulate parent/guardian responsibility in such multigenerational spaces when UUA staff/volunteers are not present and actively attending to interactions.
The UUA practices the following policies including in multigenerational space:
Unrelated adults never message any minor youth or child one-on-one.
Pictures/video of minors should never be shared without photo permission.
Creating a covenantal understanding of appropriate behavior in multigenerational settings.
