- Every year thousands of youth participate in youth programs, activities, and events on Grounds at the University of Virginia and on campus at the College at Wise.
Charles Johnson
Office of Youth Protection Manager
All members of the University community who, in their professional or official capacity have reason to suspect child abuse or neglect, must report the matter immediately to the Virginia Department of Social Services (DSS) toll-free child abuse and neglect hotline, 1-800-552-7096.
After making a report to the Department of Social Services, notify the University of Virginia Office of Youth Protection via Just Report It, the University’s centralized incident reporting website.
Certain programs/ activities involving minors on and around Grounds are considered “covered programs” under the Protection of Minors and Reporting Abuse policy. This policy requires that sponsoring units of covered programs complete program registration, background checks, and training on recognizing and reporting suspected child abuse and neglect.
