OUR VALUES

CFS places human dignity at the center of its community work. At the heart of CFS’s efforts to impact society is its engagement with marginalized communities, and vulnerable adults and children.

 

Vulnerable adults and children are particularly at risk of sexual exploitation and abuse. This policy defines CFS commitment to the protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) of vulnerable adults, involving CFS Employees and Related Personnel. In recognition of the special vulnerability of children, this policy also affirms CFS’s commitment to the welfare and protection from sexual exploitation and all forms of abuse of children, involving CFS Employees and Related Personnel.

​

CFS has a zero tolerance toward sexual exploitation and abuse and child abuse. CFS takes seriously all concerns and complaints about sexual exploitation and abuse and child abuse involving CFS Employees and Related Personnel. CFS initiates rigorous investigation of complaints that indicate a possible violation of this policy and takes appropriate disciplinary action, as warranted.
