All Save the Children Jordan (SCJ) staff who come into contact with children as a result of o activities are obligated to ensure that children are

safeguarded to the maximum possible extent from deliberate or inadvertent actions and failings that place them at risk of all forms of child abuse, sexual exploitation, injury, and any other harm.

This responsibility falls upon all of our staff, partners, and representatives, and is reflected across various Save the Children policies. This duty of care is enshrined in our Child Safeguarding Policy.

The Policy requires:

• Save the Children Jordan to recruit only representatives who are suited to work with children and to apply strict child safe recruitment practices.
• That everyone associated with the organization is aware of their obligations and responds appropriately to issues of child abuse and exploitation of children.
• That anyone who represents our organization behaves appropriately towards children and never abuses the position of trust that comes with being a member of the Save the Children Jordan family.
• That everyone who represents the organization must actively create a safe environment for children who come into contact with the organization.
• All activities and programs of work, including humanitarian emergency responses, are assessed for risks to children, which are reduced or removed by all means within our control.
• Central, regional, country, and member offices establish and maintain systems which promote awareness of Child Safeguarding, enable the prevention of harm, facilitate the reporting of and responding to safeguarding concerns.

In this way we make Save the Children Jordan safe for children; and by creating a child safe organization, we commit to protect children and honor their rights, with dignity and respect.
