 Every year in Florida, thousands of children are subjected to child abuse, which can take the form of physical or sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment or mental injury. Too many continue to suffer because the abuse is never reported. Under Florida law, anyone who suspects a child may be abused or neglected has a responsibility to report it.

 

Signs that a child may be a victim of child abuse:

• Unusual fearfulness • Lack of hygiene or inappropriate dress • Delayed emotional, intellectual or language development • Frequent injuries • Feeding disorders • Rocking, self-inflicted pain • Sleep disorders, bed-wetting • Lack of eye contact, poor socialization • Acting out in school • Unexplained scars or bruises • Malnutrition • Many school absences

 Standards of
Ethical Conduct
Joy Explosion
Christian Academy
(Adapted from the Code of Ethics of the Education Profession
in Florida and Principles of Professional Conduct for the Education Profession
in Florida)
Our school values the worth and dignity of every person, the pursuit of truth, devotion to excellence, acquisition of knowledge, and the nurture of democratic citizenship. Essential to the achievement of these standards are the freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal opportunity for all. Our primary concern is the student and the development of the student's potential. Employees will therefore strive for professional growth and will seek to exercise the best professional judgment and integrity. Concern for the student requires that our instructional personnel:
a.Shall make reasonable effort to protect the
student from conditions harmful to learning and/or to the student's mental
and/or physical health and/or safety.
b.Shall not unreasonably restrain a student from
independent action in pursuit of learning.
c.Shall not unreasonably deny a student access to
diverse points of view.
d.Shall not intentionally suppress or distort
subject matter relevant to a student's academic program.
e.Shall not intentionally expose a student to
unnecessary embarrassment or disparagement.
f.Shall not intentionally violate or deny a
student's legal rights.
g.Shall not harass or discriminate against any
student on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national or ethnic
origin, political beliefs, marital status, handicapping condition, sexual
orientation, or social and family background and shall make reasonable effort
to assure that each student is protected from harassment or
discrimination.
h.Shall not exploit a relationship with a student
for personal gain or advantage.
i.Shall keep in confidence personally identifiable
information obtained in the course of professional service, unless disclosure
serves professional purposes or is required by law.

4. Aware of the importance of maintaining respect and
confidence of colleagues, of students, of parents, and of the community,
employees of our school must display the highest degree of ethical conduct.
This commitment requires that our employees:
a.Shall maintain honesty in all professional
dealings.
b.Shall not on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, marital status,
handicapping condition if otherwise qualified, or social and family background
deny to a colleague professional benefits or advantages or participation in any
professional organization.
c.Shall not interfere with a colleague's exercise
of political or civil rights and responsibilities.
d.Shall not engage in harassment or discriminatory
conduct which unreasonably interferes with an individual's performance of
professional or work responsibilities or with the orderly processes of
education or which creates a hostile, intimidating, abusive, offensive, or
oppressive environment; and, further, shall make reasonable effort to assure
that each individual is protected from such harassment or discrimination.
e.  Shall not make malicious or
intentionally false statements about a colleague.
Training Requirement All instructional personnel, educational support
employees and administrators are required as a condition of employment to
complete training on these standards of ethical conduct.
Reporting Misconduct by Instructional Personnel and
Administrators All employees, educational support employees, and
administrators have an obligation to report misconduct by instructional
personnel and school administrators, which affects the health, safety, or
welfare of a student. Examples of misconduct include obscene language, drug and
alcohol use, disparaging comments, prejudice or bigotry, sexual innuendo,
cheating or testing violations, physical aggression, and accepting or offering
favors. Reports of misconduct of employees should be made to Alberta Coleman,
Administrator at (386)288-2815.

Reporting Child Abuse, Abandonment or Neglect All
employees and agents have an affirmative duty to report all actual or suspected
cases of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.
If any case of abuse, abandonment or neglect are present,
the steps are to (1) Report to Administrator, Alberta Coleman; (2) the
Administrator will report to proper authority where situation will be handled
according to law.
Signs of Physical Abuse The child may have unexplained
bruises, welts, cuts, or other injuries; broken bones; or burns. A child
experiencing physical abuse may seem withdrawn or depressed, seem afraid to go
home or may run away, shy away from physical contact, be aggressive, or wear
inappropriate clothing to hide injuries.
Signs of Sexual Abuse The child may have torn, stained or
bloody underwear, trouble walking or sitting, pain or itching in genital area,
or a sexually transmitted disease. A child experiencing sexual abuse may have
unusual knowledge of sex or act seductively, fear a particular person, seem
withdrawn or depressed, gain or lose weight suddenly, shy away from physical
contact, or run away from home.
Signs of Neglect The child may have unattended medical
needs, little or no supervision at home, poor hygiene, or appear underweight. A
child experiencing neglect may be frequently tired or hungry, steal food, or
appear overly needy for adult attention.
Patterns of Abuse: Serious abuse usually involves a
combination of factors. While a single sign may not be significant, a pattern
of physical or behavioral signs is a serious indicator and should be
reported.
Liability Protections Any person, official, or
institution participating in good faith in any act authorized or required by
law, or reporting in good faith any instance of child abuse, abandonment, or
neglect to the department or any law enforcement agency, shall be immune from
any civil or criminal liability which might otherwise result by reason of such
action. (F.S. 39.203)
An employer who discloses information about a former or
current employee to a prospective employer of the former or current employee
upon request of the prospective employer or of the former or current employee
is immune from civil liability for such disclosure or its consequences unless
it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the information disclosed by
the former or current employer was knowingly false or violated any civil right
of the former or current employee protected under F.S. Chapter 760. (F.S.
768.095)
