Child Safeguarding and Protection
Built around empowerment, prevention, protection, partnership and accountability, following the INSPIRE global package and family-centred case management.
Overview
We put in place measures that prevent and respond to all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence against children. Our safeguarding work is built around empowerment, prevention, protection, partnership and accountability, and it follows the INSPIRE global technical package through capacity building, advocacy and partnership with community structures. Case management runs through the work, identifying, assessing, planning, referring and tracking support in a way that is timely, context-sensitive and family-centred. Ubuntu values of caring, sharing, respect and compassion anchor every step.
