Dear Friends,
I am sure that you, like we at DeafKidz International, have been surprised, shocked and disappointed by the recent allegations in the UK and international press against aid workers in some of the largest and most respected international humanitarian organisations.
As the global leader working to ensure the protection and safeguarding of D/deaf children and young people, It goes without saying that we are committed to ensuring vulnerable D/deaf children and young people feel safe whenever they engage with activities supported by DeafKidz International and managed by our partners. Rest assured, we are committed to ensure that when abuse occurs, it is identified and dealt with swiftly, rigorously and unequivocally. Indeed, that is one of the reasons why we exist.
To make sure we deliver on this commitment, we require all at DeafKidz International and all those that work with us, to adhere to the highest possible standards of child protection and safeguarding. To this end, we conduct a rigorous, robust, due diligence and screening process with all our partners and all that are associated with us. Through this we are able to affirm that our processes are fit for purpose and also that any prospective partner has the capacity and procedures to comply with the standards we require.
If, however, you have any concerns regarding the safety of the D/deaf children and young people we work with, then do please contact us.
You can contact me directly at steve.crump@deafkidzinternational.org or my colleague Jaz Mann at jaz.mann@deafkidzinternational.org
Suffice to say, we will respond urgently and diligently to any occurrence that is reported to us.
With very best wishes
Steve Crump
Originator, Founder and Executive Director
DeafKidz International
