NDI Protection Policy for Children, Youth, and People with Special Needs

The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety and well being of all boys, girls, and adolescents, as well as those with special needs, in our care and to safeguard them from all forms of harm, both intentional and unintentional. It will also protect our workers from allegations that can arise from careless and unwise behaviors. These guidelines and procedures will direct the interactions of Nazarene Discipleship International (NDI) ministries staff, workers, partners, sponsors, and other visitors with boys, girls, and adolescents, as well as those with special needs, attending NDI-supported programs.

Children have the right to a happy, healthy and secure childhood. All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious beliefs and/or sexual identity, have the right to protection from abuse.
