St. Mary’s College of Maryland is committed to protecting the safety and welfare of children in or connected to our community.
By Maryland law, members of our community – faculty, staff and students – who suspect an individual is or has been the victim of child abuse or neglect, must report their suspicions both internally to the appropriate College official as well as to certain external law enforcement and child protective agencies. The full College’s Policy on the Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect explains these reporting procedures in detail and may be found in the Form and Policy Directory maintained by the Office of Human Resources: https://www.smcm.edu/hr/form-directory/.
