Schools

Young people, ages 18-29 are the age group hardest hit by identity theft.  Even children and infants are frequently victimized by strangers as well as by relatives and friends of the family. 

Education about identity theft prevention begins in schools by educating teachers and staff, who can then take preventive measures;  educate students; and watch for signs of identity theft in the workplace.

Public and private K-12 and colleges are at-risk entities, and they are covered by state and federal identity theft legislation.  Tens of thousands of student and faculty identities have already been compromised in a number of nationally publicized incidences. Many of these situations could have been prevented through risk management and education of the faculty and staff.

J. Campana and Associates provides complimentary risk assessment services and identity theft workshops to local non-profit schools as a public service aimed to educate faculty and staff.

Our complimentary as well as our optional voluntary services help schools reduce risks, and they can also help reduce the faculty’s and staff’s expenses, absenteeism, and stress, when they personally encounter identity theft and other legal life events.
