    Child Protection Policy

    “The fight against poverty stands a good chance only when children are freed from exploitation, violence and abuse. Unfortunately, there is no quick-fix solution: A child cannot be immunised against abuse. But there is something that can be done. We can begin by ensuring that all children live in a strong protective environment” (UNICEF2005: 26-27).

    CAF International (Australia) (CAF) affirms its commitment to the welfare of children and their protection from abuse and exploitation.

    CAF upholds the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (1989), Article 19, which states “State Parties shall protect the child [1] from all forms of physical and mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse.”

    We believe that child protection is both a corporate and an individual responsibility. Every person who shares in the work of CAF (including staff, volunteers, contractors, and supporters) also shares in the responsibility to take every precaution to protect the children and families we serve, regardless of their gender, race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, social background and culture..
