Introduction

Youth Alive Uganda is committed to journeying with children to adulthood ensuring that they
live to realise their dreams and ambitions. Our work with children include skills development,
health, economic strengthening, and Human rights. Since our work involve regular contact with
children in organisation and communities, protecting them from presupposes from any kind of
harm, real or potential, is an integral part of ensuring that Children live their lives to the full. It
is with this in mind that this Child Safeguarding Policy has been written.
Youth Alive Uganda recognises the importance of safeguarding and is committed to ensuring it
manages a wide range of risks such that children and adults at risk/communities, staff, other
associates and the organisation as a whole are kept safe from harm, either direct or indirect,
intentional or as a result of unintended consequences. The principle of ‘best interests’ will
guide our actions in response to concerns and breaches of this policy.
