GivitBack Foundation (GBF) Safeguarding & Policies
GivitBack Foundation (GBF) is committed to creating safe, respectful and inclusive environments for children, volunteers, staff, partners and communities. Our safeguarding framework reflects our commitment to accountability, ethical practice, and the prevention of abuse, exploitation, harassment and all forms of harm.
Our Commitment
Safeguarding is central to everything we do. We believe every child and every member of the community has the right to participate in GBF programmes safely, with dignity, respect and without fear of abuse or exploitation.
GBF has zero tolerance for child abuse, neglect, sexual exploitation, abuse, harassment, discrimination and any conduct that places children or vulnerable persons at risk.
