Proyecto Peru understands the importance of having effective policies and processes in place to protect the welfare and interests of the communities and individuals that our operation interact with. We know that particular risks exist in relation to how we interact with children and vulnerable adults and we're focused on ensuring that those risks are mitigated through the effective implementation of the Child Protection Policy.
It is important that our projects are committed to upholding the security, rights and freedoms of children and vulnerable adults at all times. We are committed to ensuring that children and vulnerable adults are not exposed to abuse, exploitation, violence or neglect. All decisions must be made in the best interest of the child or vulnerable adult. All children and vulnerable adults who have an interaction with program participants are treated with respect and equal consideration. Actively work against abuse of children, vulnerable adults or any other individual who interns interact with on their placement. Types of abuse include Sexual abuse, Physical or Mental harm and Exploitation.
