About Praesidium
Praesidium has been dedicated to its mission of protecting vulnerable populations and preserving organizational trust since 1991. With a global reach, Praesidium collaborates with organizations across all industries to prevent sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults, combat false allegations of abuse against innocent employees and volunteers, and mitigate reputational and financial damage to entities serving vulnerable populations. With over 30 years of experience in abuse risk management, Praesidium has served more than 4,000 clients and offers comprehensive abuse risk management and loss control services to a diverse client base, including, but not limited to: higher education institutions, schools, faith institutions and churches, camps, hospitals and healthcare facilities, luxury resorts, social service agencies, sports and recreational programs, fitness clubs, and childcare centers.
Praesidium's approach is grounded in a scientific methodology that involves root cause analysis. The Praesidium Safety Equation® model was developed after analyzing thousands of incidents of abuse across various industries, which identified eight key areas of organizational operations that pose abuse risk, including Policies, Screening and Selection, Training, Monitoring and Supervision, Internal Feedback Systems, Consumer Participation, Responding, and Administrative Practices.
