CISV believes that the safety and wellbeing of everyone in CISV paramount.
CISV International has a comprehensive Safeguarding Policy and a new Social Media and Digital Safety Policy. These policies outline our rules and expectations to help ensure that safeguarding comes first in everything we do, both in the physical and online worlds. It is important that we all read and understand these policies and the part we each must play to keep children, adults at risk, and each other safe.
