Child Safeguarding

YISS takes its responsibility to protect and nurture every child very seriously. We aim to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for children, protecting and safeguarding them to the highest standards possible.

As an organization, we are committed to:

  • Valuing children and ensuring their safety in all locations and facilities where we are responsible in caring for them

  • Ensuring that all staff involved with children are given support and training in child safety and protection

  • Complying with legal requirements of our host country in training and reporting as necessary

  • YISS expects proper moral and ethical conduct toward all children from all adults within our organization including staff and volunteers. Our Child Safety Team received training from the Child Safety & Protection Network (CSPN), and our child safety policies and procedures are consistent with the best practice standards adopted by the CSPN.
