Child Protection Policy


Our Commitment

DISK is dedicated to ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for every member of our community. Guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and aligned with internationally recognized child protection standards, we maintain zero tolerance for any form of abuse or neglect

Definition of Child Abuse

Our Child Protection Policy defines abuse in accordance with both the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) guidelines and local legal frameworks. This includes:
  • Physical abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Sexual abuse and exploitation
  • Neglect (including commercial exploitation)
  • Inappropriate peer-to-peer behavior
  • Online/digital harassment

Reporting Concerns

  • Confidential Reporting: If you have concerns about a child’s well-being, you can speak directly and confidentially with our designated Child Protection Officer, Mr. Gavin Storey [[email protected]]
  • Alternative Contacts: You can also reach out to a trusted member of the DISK community via email during working hours, or submit an anonymous report through our website.
  • Immediate Action: DISK will handle all reports promptly and discreetly, respecting the privacy of individuals involved. We cooperate with local child protection authorities to ensure compliance with host country legislation.
  • Mandatory Reporting: All staff are mandated to report any suspicions of abuse and receive regular training in line with local legal requirements.
  • Policy Review: Note that the Child Protection Policy is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current with both international and local updates.

Anonymous Report Form

    The more detail you can provide, the better. Please describe what you observed or heard in as much detail as possible. For instance, you might include who was involved or who witnessed the incident, what exactly was said or done, when and where it happened, and any other context that would help us understand your concern (e.g., ‘He told me…,’ ‘I saw…,’ ‘I heard…,’ ‘I suspect…’).
