SESSION

Title
Risks and Prevention Strategies: Sexual Misconduct Liability


Speaker

Chad Blomberg
Alana McMullin

Description

Legislative changes, media coverage, and victims’ support groups have resulted in increased claims and lawsuits against perpetrators and the public entities for whom they work or volunteer. This session helps public entities manage the risks of these claims, and improves understanding of: (1) misconceptions about the groups and organizations associated with sexual misconduct; (2) effective strategies for internally responding to claims of sexual misconduct; (3) the “dos and don’ts” of communicating with the media and your organizations’ external stakeholders in responding to and preventing misconduct; (4) best practices for evaluating and improving sexual misconduct prevention and response policies; and (5) insurance claim management and recovery strategies.
