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).
"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."
Building awareness at every level — staff, partners, volunteers and communities — about child safeguarding risks, rights and responsibilities.
Proactively implementing safe recruitment, codes of conduct, training and risk assessments to prevent harm before it occurs.
Clear, accessible and confidential reporting mechanisms for any child safeguarding concern — ensuring no concern is ever ignored.
Prompt, sensitive and survivor-centred response to all reported concerns, with appropriate disciplinary or legal action where warranted.
If you have witnessed a safeguarding concern related to Uttar Pradesh Health & Welfare Promotion Trust staff or representatives, please tell us immediately.
