The policy update was sent to leaders in the form of a letter. Wording as follows:

To: General Authorities; General Officers; Area Seventies; Stake, Mission, and District Presidencies; Bishoprics and Branch Presidencies; Members of Stake and Ward Councils

a. At least two adults must be present at all virtual and in-person Church-sponsored activities for children or youth (see General Handbook, 20.7.1).

b. Leaders should avoid one-on-one contact with a child or youth unless they are clearly visible to nearby leaders. Also avoid one-on-one contact through phone, texts, social media, videoconference, and so on unless other leaders are included.

c. President Russell M. Nelson counseled “each of us to be alert to anyone who might be in danger of being abused and to act promptly to protect them” (“What Is True?,” Liahona, Nov. 2022, 29). If leaders become aware of any kind of abuse or neglect, they should report it to appropriate civil authorities and counsel with the bishop immediately (see General Handbook, 38.6.2).
