Safeguarding Children at CV

Statement on the Safeguarding of Children at The Children’s Village:

April, 24, 2026 – We at The Children’s Village will protect children in our care from abuse or maltreatment, experimentation, economic exploitation, malnutrition and unsafe environments and will bring to account any adult who thwarts this purpose.

We will utilize fully our professional skills in striving to obtain for each child the permanence of family life.

We will provide or obtain for our children who are emotionally disturbed the best therapeutic care available to them.

We will provide every opportunity for children to learn and to develop whatever talents they possess.

We will accord children in our care full respect as individuals, while teaching them to respect the rights of others.

A child at The Children’s Village shall never be subject to ridicule, humiliation, and threats of physical or verbal punishment or any means of discipline that would diminish rather than strengthen the child’s sense of value and dignity.

Corporal punishment or any physical or psychologically painful, degrading or malicious practices are not permitted.

We strongly encourage anyone with reason to believe that someone at The Children’s Village has harmed a child to immediately report their concern to The New York State Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs by calling 1-855-373-2122 or by following this link.
