Maine’s Public Law 20-A MRS §254, sub-§18 requires that all school administrative units in Maine with public pre-K through grade 5 programs have a written policy for child sexual abuse prevention education and response. In 2018, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) created a Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education and Response Model Policy to support schools to implement effective child sexual abuse prevention policies.
The Children’s Safety Partnership (CSP) was created to support schools and communities in these efforts. CSP is an online toolkit with information for parents, teachers, administrators, schools, and communities for implementing Maine’s law, and responding to and preventing child sexual abuse.
The Children’s Safety Partnership is a program of the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault in partnership with the Maine Department of Education, Maine’s sexual assault service providers, and local schools across the state.

In response to COVID-19, we've created a PDF with pages from Kids in Space featuring prompts about emotions, online safety, and safe adults. These pages are available to download and share with school personnel.
If you have any questions or would like CSP swag with the images below mailed to your center, please email Katie Church, Children's Safety Partnership Coordinator, at church@mecasa.org.
