ActionAid Australia is fundamentally committed to protecting children from violence, abuse and exploitation in all their forms and to promoting children’s rights as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).
ActionAid Australia will take all reasonable steps to safeguard the interests, rights and well-being of those children with whom the organisation is in contact and will advocate for strengthening the protection and promotion of rights of all children in the communities in which we work. ActionAid Australia will implement procedures and practices as set out in this document to protect children from violence, abuse and exploitation by staff, partners, sponsors and other organisational representatives who have contact with children.
