Safeguarding Policy
Our commitment to protecting children, vulnerable adults and survivors of gender-based violence.
Our commitment
OTEGA Foundation works with children, vulnerable adults and survivors of gender-based violence. We are committed to ensuring that everyone who comes into contact with our work is safe from harm, abuse and exploitation.
What this means in practice
- We do not publish identifying photos, names or locations of children or survivors without documented guardian consent.
- Survivor stories are never collected through open public forms.
- All staff and volunteers are expected to uphold professional conduct with beneficiaries.
- Concerns are handled confidentially and escalated to the appropriate authorities where required.
