CHILD PROTECTION GLOBAL POLICY STATEMENT The British Council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries by building trust between them worldwide. We believe good child protection requires everyone to take responsibility. We recognise that the care and welfare of children is paramount and that all children have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse. The British Council recognises that we have a fundamental duty of care towards all of the children we engage with, including a duty to protect them from abuse. We achieve this through compliance with UK child protection laws and relevant laws in each of the countries we operate in, as well as by adherence to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) 1989. A child is defined in the British Council as anyone who has not reached their 18th birthday (UNCRC 1989) irrespective of the age of majority in the country where a child is or their home country. This policy is mandatory for all British Council staff worldwide. This includes anyone who works for the British Council, either in a paid or unpaid, full or part time capacity. This includes directly employed staff, trustees, contractors, agency staff, consultants, volunteers, interns and anyone working on behalf of the British Council. THE BRITISH COUNCIL IS COMMITTED TO Valuing, respecting and listening to children Ensuring all necessary checks are made when recruiting staff Adopting child protection systems and procedures for staff Providing a common understanding of child protection issues and ensuring these issues inform staff planning and practice.

As the UK s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations the British Council develops relationships with people from a wide range of backgrounds. Engaging positively with the richness of diversity is central to what we do in line with our core values.
