| Abstract: | This guide gives practitioners, advocates, and policymakers information and resources to design and implement "safe space" policies that safeguard early childhood programs against immigration enforcement. A "safe space" policy is a plan or set of protocols to mitigate the harm of possible immigration enforcement actions at or near early childhood programs and protect families' safety and privacy. The Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) is available to provide technical assistance as a safe space policy is developed. This guide was updated in 2025 to reflect changes to federal immigration policy as a result of a directive issued by Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman. The guide is organized into the following parts: (1) Overview of Safe Space Policies; (2) How to Create a Safe Space Policy; and (3) Key Resources for Parents and Providers. |
