FFN believes that all children have a right to protection, and that the welfare of the child is paramount. Good child protection practice protects not only children but also the staff and volunteers who come into contact with them. In our attempt to create a safeguard culture, a detailed Child Protection Policy has been adopted by the Trustees of Future For Nepal. Our Child Protection Policy is based upon the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It will be updated at least every three years, and/ or whenever there is significant change in the organisation or in the relevant legislation. Before any sponsor or fundraiser becomes involved with FFN, they will be given a copy of our Child Protection Policy, and asked to sign a declaration acknowledging receipt and understanding of the policy. The relevant parts of the Child Protection Policy have also been translated into Nepali, and given to the sponsored children and their families.
