Key Policies

Child protection is crucial to ensuring that children under 18 years of age have the rights, confidence and environment in which they can make choices, express their views and communicate effectively with other children and adults regardless of their age, gender, race, disability or religious belief. 

Teach A Man To Fish takes Child Protection very seriously. 

We believe that keeping children safe is a central concern for all those working to broaden children’s access to education and to reduce poverty. 

Children cannot become empowered change agents to improve their lives and that of their families and communities if they are not aware of their right to be safe from abuse and safeguarded from abuse, discrimination and harm of any kind, be it physical, sexual, emotional or neglect.

In relation to school businesses Teach A Man To Fish believes that student wellbeing overrides all other considerations, particularly business profit. 

The School Enterprise Challenge is open to all schools from all countries, including: pre-primary schools, primary schools, secondary schools and technical/vocational colleges. Please note that universities are not eligible to take part.
