Volunteer Child Protection Policy
Friends for Asia offers has various different policies regarding child protection, depending upon the project that a participant has chosen. We have now put these policies together to create one over-arching Child Protection Policy, that will be used for all of our placements where volunteers work within the vicinity or directly with children. For our Thailand programs, this would apply to our teaching and childcare placements.<br />
