Children’s Privacy
Children’s information is treated as highly sensitive. We do not publish a child’s full name, personal details, photograph, school details, family history, or private story without proper permission from the children’s home, guardian, or responsible authority.
Where possible, we use first names, initials, nicknames, or anonymous student codes.
Photos and Stories
Keeping and Deleting Information
We keep information only for as long as needed. Information may be deleted when a child leaves the programme, a volunteer stops volunteering, or the information is no longer required.
Safeguarding records may be kept longer if needed for child protection or legal reasons.
We will only use photos, videos, or stories with permission. We avoid showing children’s faces or personal details unless consent has been clearly given.
Online Tutoring Safety
Tutors must not contact children privately through WhatsApp, social media, personal email, phone calls, or private messaging apps.
Tutoring must take place through approved and supervised channels. Tutors must not ask children for any unnecessary personal information.
How We Protect Information
We store information securely using password-protected files and limited access. Only authorised people may view personal information, and only when needed for their role.
Sharing Information
We only share information when necessary with children’s homes, approved tutors, NGO coordinators, or child protection authorities if there is a safety concern.
We may share impact reports, but these will use general and anonymous information.
Keeping and Deleting Information
We keep information only for as long as needed. Information may be deleted when a child graduates, a volunteer stops volunteering, or the information is no longer required.
Safeguarding records may be kept longer if needed for child protection or legal reasons.
