Safeguarding

EFAM (Education For All Morocco Ltd) is committed to actively promoting the safeguarding and welfare of children and young people, protecting them from all forms of harm, abuse and harassment. We understand that we work in a trauma-informed context and recognise that some children and young people will be at greater risk and may need greater support. Whilst all children and young people have the same rights to protection, safeguarding and opportunities, EFAM adapts its safeguarding practice to ensure full compliance with Moroccan law.

The Board of Trustees works to ensure that this commitment is reflected and implemented effectively in all its policies and practices, and that there are effective risk assessments in place to safeguard the children and young adults who attend the boarding facilities provided by our partner organisations.

EFAM is grateful for the support of The Independent Safeguarding Service (CIC), who work with us on a pro bono basis to provide policy, auditing, training and reporting services.

Reporting

It is the responsibility of all trustees, staff and volunteers to report any allegations, concerns or inappropriate behaviour and breaches of the safeguarding policy. However, there is no expectation or compulsion requiring a victim/survivor of abuse or exploitation to disclose their own experiences against their wishes.

To report any safeguarding concerns, please use one of the following contacts.
