CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

Protection Of Our Children

All children deserve to be brought up in a safe environment. We here at The Maher believe that protection of the children in our care is extremely important. We work hard to provide an environment where students are safe, treated with respect and dignity. Working with Indian rules and guidelines for the protection of children we have implemented a number of policies with the assistance of numerous organizations and professional advice.

Accountability

We believe that no-one should be accountable to only themselves when it comes to the safety of children. Our policies work to ensure that our leadership, children, visitors and volunteers work to develop a culture of safety practice so that it becomes a normal behavior at all levels of our organization.

What We Do To Keep Our Children Safe

Protection Policies

Regulations in line with Indian Laws and embrace the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

CCTV System

Almost 90 closed circuit tv camera systems operate night and day in all public spaces across our compound to assist in keeping our children safe.

Safety Awareness

We partner with social workers, and national and international organizations to train our staff and children in safety awareness.

Volunteer Screening

We carefully screen each and every volunteer and visitor who enter our gates. References are checked and more than 60% of applicants are turned away.

Experience

With over 26 years of collective experience in child care, we are always alert for signs of abuse. Our team constantly monitors interactions between staff, volunteers, visitors, and children for signs of abuse.

No Tolerance Policy

We believe there is no room for error when it comes to the protection of children. Our no-tolerance policy does not allow any room for those who would seek to hurt our children.
