# Child Safeguarding at Uttar Pradesh Health & Welfare Promotion Trust

Our Commitment

## Keeping Children Safe — Whatever It Takes

As an organisation committed to Child Rights, we believe every child has the right to be protected from harm, abuse, and exploitation. As is embedded in our registered name "Uttar Pradesh Health & Welfare Promotion Trust", we are committed to keeping children safe whatever it takes.

Our Child Safeguarding Policy reflects our commitment and makes us accountable for creating and proactively maintaining a safe environment — preventing and deterring any actions by Uttar Pradesh Health & Welfare Promotion Trust representatives, whether deliberate or inadvertent, that place children at risk.

The Policy sets forth standards for all programmes and activities across the organisation, underscoring our commitment to the four pillars of Awareness, Prevention, Reporting and Responding.

Note: This reporting mechanism is only for child abuse by Uttar Pradesh Health & Welfare Promotion Trust staff or in UPHWPT projects. For other child abuse concerns, contact: 1098 (child helpline) or 112 (emergency police).

### CEO's Commitment

"We have zero-tolerance to any form of harm to children, perpetrated by staff, partners, or anyone else that we have given authority to, such as volunteers, interns, freelance trainers and researchers. At Uttar Pradesh Health & Welfare Promotion Trust, it is not our discretion but our obligation to report any Child Safeguarding concern."
