Safeguarding

 

Protection and safety of children, young people, programme participants, coworkers, relevant stakeholders, and organisational assets are top priorities for SOS Children’s Villages Nepal. Everything we do is guided by our commitment to provide a safe, secure and empowering environment for all.

In our commitment to safeguarding children and young people,  we organise series of awareness and refresher sessions for children, young people and coworkers. These sessions cover vital topics such as child and youth safeguarding policies, reporting and responding procedures, case management, online safety, sexual and reproductive health rights, and the prevention of sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse.

Report a safeguarding concern

SOS Children’s Villages Nepal strongly condemns all forms of violence and harm against children and young people. We are committed to creating and maintaining a caring and protective environment for every child and young person we reach through our programmes.

Every child and youth safeguarding concern or incident reported is taken seriously because the safety and welfare of the child always come first.

We want to hear about your concern, also anonymously, if that makes you feel more comfortable. We treat each conversation with the utmost confidentiality. A dedicated team of experts who have sole access to the online whistleblowing system will look into the issue, keep you informed and do the necessary follow up.

Thank you for keeping SOS Children´s Villages Nepal a safe and caring environment.
