Resources
The Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) offers a guide to help child care providers create “Safe Space” policies. To start, providers should review security and privacy policies to ensure they address staff interactions with authorities, protection of private information, and emergency procedures. These policies should comply with laws and be updated to improve safety and data protection, reducing risks with immigration agents and safeguarding sensitive information. Child care providers can tailor their safe space policy to meet their needs, but it should include these key components:
Staff Roles and Responsibilities
Interacting with Immigration Agents
Minimizing Disruption
Parent Notification

The Department of Human Services’ Office of New Americans has useful resources for individuals and organizations/businesses as they prepare for interactions with federal immigration law enforcement.
DCF created a one pager (attached) encouraging families to create a preparedness plan in the event caregivers are separated from their children for any reason, including natural disaster, incarceration, or deportation.
