This safeguarding policy is grounded in the legislation of the: (a) laws of Ghana, (b) Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child which asserts children’s right to protection ‘from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury and abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has care of the child; (c) The Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes fundamental human rights, the dignity and worth of people at any age and in the equal rights of men and women.
We acknowledge that KIC employees enjoy additional authority and privileges due to the nature of their work in the development space. Through our engagement in the development sector, we are dedicated to protecting everyone who interacts with KIC from abuse of that authority and privilege.
The purpose of this policy is to protect people we work with, particularly children, at risk adults and beneficiaries from any harm that may be caused due to their coming into contact with the Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC).
