We support and respect all children as well as our staff, contractors, volunteers and visitors. We maintain zero tolerance for child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated very seriously and consistently with our robust policies and procedures. We have legal and moral obligations to contact authorities when we are worried about a child’s safety, which we adhere to rigorously and at all times.
