Prevent Child Abuse Utah Educators Training

Why are you charging money for something that's always been free?

When Utah's child sexual abuse prevention law was passed in 2014, the mandate for educator training was left unfunded by the legislature. Since 2017, Prevent Child Abuse Utah has been covering the cost of providing the training through private fundraising. The expenses of maintaining the course have grown too great to be covered by charitable donations alone.

How much does Boundary Town cost?

The training costs $11.99 for one individual to complete the course and receive a certificate of completion. For school districts or other large organizations, the cost is capped at $15,000. Payment plans are available on an annual or quarterly basis. The fee represents an investment in risk mitigation, long-term savings of time and resources, and the fostering of a community in which children remain safe from abuse. Group pricing for nonprofits and municipalities is available by contacting Sarah Haley Nitta, Director of Education, (801) 205-3967, [email protected].

How often do I have to take Boundary Town?

Utah's child sexual abuse prevention law (UT 53G-9-207) currently mandates educators complete training every three years. Your organization may have other rules that require you to take it more frequently.

Are there built-in reporting tools?

Yes, organizations with pre-paid licences will be emailed a monthly report listing the employees who have completed the course and the number of licenses used.

Can I take a different training?

To be in compliance with the law, public school educators and employees must take training that has been vetted and approved by the Utah State Board of Education. Boundary Town is USBE-approved. You can find a list of approved trainings at the prevention webpage for USBE.

How long can I access the course material and my certificate of completion?

An individual user will have one year of access to the course and a certificate of completion dated when the training is first completed. Employees of organizations that pre-paid for user licenses have one year of access. The terms are negotiable.
