Reporting abuse, exploitation, or harassment 

We know people are sometimes reluctant to report sexual abuse or harassment. We are focused and committed to creating a working environment at PLANET Child Tanzania where people feel safe to come forward with sexual harassment, exploitation or abuse claims. We take reports extremely seriously and protect witnesses as well as victims.   Retaliations against people for reporting are a breach of our code of conduct. Concerns about any form of misconduct can be reported anonymously.

Reporting misconduct

We encourage anyone who has concerns about misconduct by our beneficiaries, staff or relating to our programs to report those so that we can take immediate action. PLANET Child Tanzania has a dedicated whistleblower child protection officer with a mandate to make follow-up using whistleblowing cards.

This can include:
  • Fraud
  • Misappropriation
  • Discrimination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Exploitation and abuse
  • Support of terrorism
  • Employing a child
  • Child trafficking
  • Threaten minors
