Cadet Protection Program Training
The Cadet Protection Program Training (CPPT) is designed to help new senior members, Cadet Sponsor Members and cadets age 18 and older to know the definitions and signs of abuse, and to understand CAP's Cadet Protection policies.
CAP cadets deserve a healthy and safe environment. As adult leaders (and cadets age 18 and older), you have a responsibility to be watchful and to report any suspicions of potential abuse. CPPT helps by providing the foundation for a professional climate and the highest standards of behavior of all our members.
This training is mandatory for all senior members, Cadet Sponsor Members and cadets age 18 and older. CPPT is also an element of the senior member’s Level One professional development. This training takes most people less than two hours to complete.
