TORRANCE, CA – Keenan, a California-based insurance brokerage and consulting firm for schools and public agencies, has launched a new School Safety Center website providing comprehensive resources to help schools address emerging risks of child abuse and bullying, campus safety and security, and Title IX anti-discrimination compliance.

It offers a wide range of best practices, tools and training courses, at no cost, that institutions can utilize to achieve their goal of providing such an environment.

Six modules are available, each filled with in-depth information on the following issues:

  • Abuse Prevention
