Child Safeguarding
Save the Children is built on the fundamental belief that all children have the right to be protected from harm, abuse, and exploitation. In recognition of the special vulnerabilities of children, our Policy on Safeguarding and Counter-Human Trafficking and Code of Ethics operationalize Save the Children’s values into behaviors to which all representatives are expected to conform. Any violations of our policies will be treated as a serious infraction and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, and any other available legal remedy. Save the Children has a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse by any of our representatives. Please visit our website’s Child Safeguarding page to learn more.
