Protection & Safeguarding

CHADET has developed a safeguarding policy that encompass the philosophies, policies, standards, guidelines and procedures to protect children and vulnerable adults and steps to be taken to promote their wellbeing. All its workers, contractors and visitors who have a chance to work for the organization or get in contact with children under its programs are expected to observe the policy.

Stakeholder Engagement

CHADET has cascaded its protection policy to all its stakeholders, including teachers, police officers and community members. It has also established a system that enables children to report any form of harm or Sexual Exploitation Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) on their way to and from school, in their schools and at home/communities.
