Safeguarding – Sinhayana Foundation

Our Commitment

Every child who comes to Sinhayana has the right to be safe, respected and heard. Children’s safety comes before performance, publicity and fundraising.

The Standards Our Policy Sets

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy sets these standards for every session and every adult:

Two approved adults present at every session.
No adult works with children before identity and background checks are complete.
Children leave only with an adult authorised by their family.
No physical punishment, humiliation or discrimination, ever.
A child is photographed or filmed, and the material published, only with a parent or guardian’s permission, and a child’s full name is never published with their location.
Any adult who learns of possible abuse reports it to the police, as the law requires, and tells our Safeguarding Contact at the same time.

Our Policy

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy is awaiting review by legal counsel before adoption by our Board. We will publish a summary once it is adopted.

If a child is in immediate danger, call 112. For a child who needs care or protection, call the child helpline on 1098.
