FAQs

What sets Scarab apart is the quality of its instructional staff. Scarab is comprised of the leading experts in the child exploitation and child protection space. Our instructors not only are experienced practitioners, they are among the most highly sought-after speakers at professional conferences. Their biographies are available in the “Instructors” section of this website. Because travel to conferences or hosting in-person training is often impractical or cost-prohibitive— particularly for agencies with limited budgets and significant operational demands—many professionals do not receive the foundational or advanced training needed to perform this work as effectively as they otherwise could. Scarab was created to address this gap by delivering high-quality, practitioner-informed training in a format that is accessible, flexible, and affordable.

In mythology, scarabs represent learning and growth - an appropriate symbol for a platform focused on professional development. Also, in ancient Egyptian culture, scarabs were associated with protection from evil. Because Scarab is committed to reducing exploitation, abuse, and harm to vulnerable people - particularly children - we believe the scarab is a meaningful and fitting metaphor for our mission.
