At CPN, the safety and well-being of every individual we serve is non-negotiable. Safeguarding and Child Protection are not just policies; they are the bedrock of our operations and a core part of our organizational culture.

We understand that to truly empower vulnerable communities, we must first ensure their safety and dignity. Our robust policy and procedures are designed to protect every child and vulnerable person from all forms of harm, abuse, and exploitation. This proactive approach ensures that our programs are delivered in an environment of trust and respect, where everyone can feel secure.

Key Principles of Our Policy:

Zero Tolerance: We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of abuse or neglect. All staff, volunteers, and partners undergo rigorous training and vetting to ensure they uphold the highest standards of conduct.

Safe Programming: We embed safeguarding measures into the design and implementation of every project. From our Care Groups to our Peace Clubs, we ensure that our activities and spaces are safe for all participants.

Reporting and Response: We have clear, accessible, and confidential reporting mechanisms for anyone to raise a concern. Our response protocols are designed to be swift, child-centered, and ensure that appropriate action is taken to protect those at risk.
