SAFEGUARDING OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS
The Roots and Wings Foundation is committed to provide a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults and protect them from any harm, abuse or neglect.
What we mean by harm? Please read our overview.
Our Safeguarding policy describes how we protect these groups
Why do children and vulnerable adults need safeguarding?
The Foundation recognizes every person’s right to live in equal dignity as individuals, with special regard to children and vulnerable adults; therefore the protection of vulnerable social groups is a priority of the Foundation and it should be a key principle for its partners as well. To help ensure this right is respected, the Foundation strives to comply with the following ethical guidelines to create a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults.
The main principles of the Safeguarding based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as international, common guidelines for every European Party.
If a trustee, employee or volunteer of the Foundation will learn about any case of harm or abuse, they are asked to report the case immediately to the responsible person at the board of trustees, Edit Kovács: gysza@gy-sz.hu
