Child Safety Policy

1. Our Commitment to Child Safety

Jaiti Foundation is committed to providing children with a safe, respectful, supportive, and positive environment where they can learn, participate, and develop.

We expect everyone involved in our activities to treat children with dignity and respect.

Any behaviour that may place a child at risk of harm, exploitation, harassment, abuse, or inappropriate treatment is not acceptable.

2. Responsible Adult Supervision

During classes, educational activities, events, and other activities involving children, a responsible educator or adult should be present.

Educators and responsible adults are expected to remain attentive to the children's safety and well-being during activities.

3. Volunteers and Outside Trainers

Jaiti Foundation may involve volunteers and outside trainers in educational, recreational, fitness, skill-development, or other activities involving children.

All such individuals are expected to:

• Treat children respectfully.
• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
• Follow the instructions and safety requirements of Jaiti Foundation.
• Avoid behaviour that may make a child uncomfortable, unsafe, or vulnerable.
• Report concerns relating to a child's safety to the appropriate Jaiti Foundation contact.

Participation in Jaiti Foundation activities does not give any individual unrestricted authority over children.

4. Professional Boundaries

Everyone interacting with children through Jaiti Foundation is expected to maintain appropriate professional boundaries.

This includes:

• Communicating with children respectfully.
• Avoiding unnecessary physical contact.
• Avoiding inappropriate language, behaviour, or conversations.
• Avoiding situations where a child and an adult are unnecessarily isolated from others.
• Maintaining appropriate conduct during classes, activities, events, and online interactions.

Private or isolated one-to-one situations involving children should be avoided wherever reasonably possible.

5. Respect and Non-Discrimination

Every child should be treated with dignity and respect.

Children should not be subjected to bullying, humiliation, threatening behaviour, harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate treatment while participating in Jaiti Foundation activities.

6. Photos and Videos of Children

Jaiti Foundation may document educational activities, events, celebrations, and other initiatives through photographs or videos.

Appropriate parent/guardian consent should be obtained before using a child's photograph or video for public communication, including the website or social media.

Photos and videos should be used respectfully and should not portray children in a manner that is exploitative, humiliating, unsafe, or inappropriate.

7. Privacy and Personal Information

Jaiti Foundation aims to handle children's personal information responsibly.

Information about children should only be shared when reasonably necessary for the relevant educational, administrative, safety, or communication purpose.

People involved with Jaiti Foundation should avoid unnecessarily collecting, sharing, or publicly disclosing personal information about children.

Particular care should be taken with information that could unnecessarily expose a child to safety or privacy risks.

8. Online and Website Safety

Jaiti Foundation's online platforms should be used in a manner that respects children's safety and privacy.

Website content, photographs, videos, and other public communications involving children should be reviewed with appropriate care.

Visitors, volunteers, trainers, and other individuals should not use information obtained through Jaiti Foundation's website or activities to contact, exploit, harass, or otherwise harm a child.

9. Raising a Concern

If a child, parent/guardian, educator, volunteer, trainer, or any other person has a concern regarding the safety or well-being of a child involved with Jaiti Foundation, they are encouraged to report the concern to Jaiti Foundation.

Concerns may be raised through our existing communication channels:
