Indiana University, as part of its educational mission, has many university programs that are focused on children. The university also allows external organizations to use university facilities for programs that focus on children. Ongoing or planned events that are designed to include children, whether conducted by the university or by an external organization, are referred to as programs involving children, or PIC Programs.

This policy has three principles:

1. The protection and safety of children in these programs should be the highest priority of the university and of organizations administering PIC Programs.
2. The university and members of the university community must comply with federal and state law requirements regarding reporting of abuse and neglect of children.
3. The policy must be flexible to accommodate the wide variety of PIC Programs.
