Report a Safeguarding ConcernEvery child's dignity comes first.
We believe stories can create awareness and inspire action. But a child's privacy and dignity are more important than any story. We aim to tell stories responsibly, protect identities where necessary and obtain appropriate consent before publishing photographs, videos or personal information.
We will strive to:
- Protect children's identities
- Avoid exploitative imagery
- Obtain appropriate consent
- Avoid sensationalising hardship
- Protect sensitive information
- Represent people with dignity
- Put safeguarding before publicity
We don't tell stories to create pity. We tell stories to show possibility.
Safety is a shared responsibility.
If you see something concerning, please say something.
