Arpan believes that the protection of children is the duty of all adults and the right of every child. Sexual abuse of children is unacceptable under any circumstances. At any given point in time, a lot of views exist on what is best for the child. Arpan’s work is child-centric where we focus on understanding and valuing what the child wants and hence the child is an integral part of the decision making process. This philosophy extends to all the programmes and activities at Arpan where children are the primary stakeholders, permeates all aspects of Arpan’s work and is reflected in Arpan’s policies, practices and activities.
Arpan has a detailed Child Protection Policy to safeguard the interest of children as enumerated in the document.
