CONDUCT WITH MINORS POLICY

Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) is dedicated to providing patrons with a safe and secure environment to foster and encourage creativity. The Museum recognizes that persons under the age of eighteen are an especially vulnerable group and that misconduct with a minor is harmful to the minor, his or her family, BAM, and society. Therefore, all persons associated with BAM, including but not limited to employees, independent contractors, and volunteers, shall have no one-to-one contact with a minor on or off the Museum premises. Any contact with a minor shall take place in a public area.

Goals

1) To create a safe and secure environment for all.

2) To define and provide notice to, but not limited to, Museum staff, independent contractors, volunteers, and all other persons associated with Bellevue Arts Museum that individuals who violate this policy will be held accountable for acts of unprofessional conduct.

3) To assure the community that Bellevue Arts Museum implements clear measures to ensure the safety of minors associated with the Museum.

Reporting a Problem

If you believe this policy has been violated, we ask you to immediately and confidentially report such violation to the Managing Director who, with any expert assistance deemed necessary, shall undertake a thorough investigation and, if the policy or the law has been violated, deal appropriately with the violation.

If you believe a situation is or may be developing which, if not resolved, could lead you into violating this policy or create an appearance of violating the policy, we encourage you to confidentially discuss the potential problem and resolution with the Managing Director.

Accountability

Bellevue Arts Museum adheres to the highest ethical standards. Anyone who commits an act of unethical conduct proscribed within this statement will be held accountable for such conduct.

Process for Screening Minors

As part of the screening process, Bellevue Arts Museum is required to conduct background checks on all Museum employees, independent contractors, volunteer applicants, and anyone who works on behalf of the Museum through the Washington State Patrol.
