Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. Our standards outline a comprehensive framework to ensure the safety, dignity, and well-being of all children, both within our operations and the wider community.

Zero-Tolerance Policy: We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Any form of abuse, exploitation, or inappropriate behavior involving children will result in immediate action, including reporting to relevant authorities.

Prevention and Risk Mitigation: We implement proactive measures to prevent CSAE, including:

• Thorough background checks for all employees, contractors, and volunteers working with children.

• Regular training on child protection policies and recognizing signs of abuse.

• Clear guidelines on appropriate interactions with children.

Reporting and Response Procedures: We have established clear and confidential reporting mechanisms for suspected or confirmed cases of CSAE. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity.

Child-Centered Approach: All actions taken prioritize the best interests of the child, ensuring their safety, dignity, and well-being. Support services and counseling are made available to affected children.

Partnership and Collaboration: We collaborate with child protection organizations, law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders to strengthen efforts against CSAE.

Continuous Improvement: Our standards are regularly reviewed and updated to align with best practices, legal requirements, and emerging risks.

Commitment Statement: By implementing these standards, we affirm our unwavering commitment to safeguarding children and promoting a safe and supportive environment for all.
