Child Safeguarding

Children's safety comes first

Everyone who works with us, whether staff, volunteer, donor or visitor, shares responsibility for keeping children safe.

What we expect

• Treat every child with respect, whatever their background, gender, caste or religion
• Never use physical punishment or humiliating language
• Avoid being alone with a child, out of sight of others
• Never ask a child for personal contact or contact them privately
• Take and share photos of children only with consent, and in ways that protect their dignity

Raising a concern

If you are worried about a child's safety in connection with our work, tell us immediately. All concerns are taken seriously and handled with care. If a child is in danger, call Childline on 1098 or the emergency number 112 first.
