Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, And Abuse (SHEA) And Other Safeguarding Concerns Overarching Policy

Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, And Abuse (SHEA) And Other Safeguarding Concerns Overarching Policy

The Youth Cafe is committed to preventing any form of sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse (including child abuse and adult at-risk abuse) and responding robustly when these harms occur. SHEA and Safeguarding incidents are rooted in an imbalance of power, particularly gendered and sexualized abuses of power. Safeguarding refers to the policies and processes an organization puts in place to prevent and respond to harm by staff or those working on our behalf. TYC’s SHEA and Safeguarding policies sit under the AAI Code of Conduct and are informed by and reinforce TYC’s feminist leadership approach.

This Policy is supported by the Child Safeguarding Policy, Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Policy, and Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse (SHEA) at Work Policy.
