Our Contribution to Child Protection

Our Child Protection Policy focuses on four key action areas: awareness, prevention, reporting and responding. We place special emphasis on awareness and prevention to safeguard children and improve the quality of care they receive.

Child safeguarding concerns are taken seriously and addressed immediately. This means that:

· We build the capacities of co-workers, children, young people and families to recognise signs of abuse and how to prevent it.

· We teach the use of tools such as positive discipline.

· We work to eliminate harmful cultural practices.

· Any reported child-safeguarding incident or concern is carefully assessed and based on the results of the assessment concrete actions are decided and put in place.
