Safeguarding
Keeping people safe
Our screening days reach children and adults who may be vulnerable. This page sets out how we protect them and how to raise a concern.
Our commitment
We work with children at schools and with adults who may be vulnerable. Everyone who works or volunteers with us must keep them safe from harm.
How we work at schools and screening days
Eye tests for children happen with the school's agreement, parents' consent and approval from the relevant authorities, in open spaces where other adults can see.
Staff and volunteers who work with children need a Certificate of Good Conduct and safeguarding training before their first screening day.
We only take photos with consent, and never publish a child's full name with their photo.
Raising a concern
If you're worried about anyone's safety in connection with our work, write to info@uwiano.africa. You can also use the contact form and choose "A safeguarding concern".
If someone is in immediate danger, call the police on 999 or 112. For concerns about a child, you can also call Childline Kenya on 116.
