ACESWorld policy will apply in the event that it is more stringent than local legislation. This policy sets out ACESWorld’s approach to preventing and addressing sexual harassment andsexual exploitation and abuse.Definitions: Child: In accordance with the definition used by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012 (CRCPC), ACESWorld defines anyone under the age of 18 as a child. Sexual Exploitation: ACESWorld defines the term sexual exploitation as any actual or attempted abuse of a person in a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust for sexual purposes including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially, or politically from the exploitation of someone else. The term sexual abuse means actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force, coercion, or under unequal conditions.Physical Abuse: The actual or potential physical harm from interaction or lack of interaction, which is reasonably within the control of a person in a position of responsibility, power or trust. Sexual Abuse: The involvement of a child in sexual activity that he or she does not fully comprehend, is unable to give informed consent to, or for which the child is not developmentally prepared and cannot give consent, or that violates the laws and social taboos of society. Child sexual abuse is evidenced by activity between a child and an adult or another child who by age or development is in a relationship of responsibility, trust, or power, the activity being intended to gratify or satisfy the needs of the other person. This may include but is not limited to the inducement or coercion of a child to engage in any unlawful sexual activity; the exploitative use of a child in prostitution or other unlawful sexual practices; the exploitative use of children in pornographic performances, internet pictures, and materials. The use of technology such as the internet by adults to entice children to meet or participate in virtual sex is also an abusePolicyAll persons associated with ACESWorld are required to: Be aware of situations that may present risks and appropriately manage it Plan and organize the work and the workplace so as to minimize risks Be visible to others when working with children whenever possible Create and maintain a non-defensive attitude and an open culture to discuss any issues or concerns Foster a culture of mutual accountability so that any potentially abusive behavior can be challenged Develop a culture where children can talk about their contacts with staff and others openly Respect each child’s boundaries and help them to develop their own sense of their rights as well as helping them to know what they can do if they feel that there is a problemAnyone working for or associated with ACESWorld must avoid actions or behavior that could be construed as poor practice or potentially abusive.

ACESWorld COVID-19 Safety Policy
Any decision to hold an event during the COVID-19 pandemic, no matter how large or small, should rely on a risk-based approach. WHO has provided guidance on how such a risk-based approach can be taken. Precautions to consider include actions to prevent transmission between people, and where to hold the venue and how it can be modified to make a safer environment. Cancelling a planned event is an option that should always be considered, especially in case of non-essential events or when precautions cannot be implemented or adequately communicated.

I am organizing a small gathering or an event- what precautions should I take to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among guests?

Always check local guidelines before planning your event.
Brief guests about precautions before the event starts; during the event, remind guests of these precautions and ensure they are followed.
Choose outdoor venues over indoor spaces – if indoors, ensure the area is well-ventilated.
Minimize crowding by staggering arrivals and departures, numbering entries, designating seats/places and marking the floor to ensure physical distancing between people of at least one meter.
Provide all necessary supplies – hand hygiene stations, hand sanitizer or soap and water, tissues, closed-lid bins, distance markers, masks.

Here are the basics of how to wear a mask:

Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it off, and after you touch it at any time. Make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin. When you take off a mask, store it in a clean plastic bag, and every day either wash it if it’s a fabric mask, or dispose of a medical mask in a trash bin. Don’t use masks with valves.

Avoid the 3Cs: spaces that are closed, crowded or involve close contact.
Outbreaks have been reported in restaurants, choir practices, fitness classes, nightclubs, offices and places of worship where people have gathered, often in crowded indoor settings where they talk loudly, shout, breathe heavily or sing.
The risks of getting COVID-19 are higher in crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces where infected people spend long periods of time together in close proximity. These environments are where the virus appears to spread by respiratory droplets or aerosols more efficiently, so taking precautions is even more important.
Meet people outside. Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in. For more information on how to hold events like family gatherings, children’s football games and family occasions, read our Q&A on small public gatherings. Avoid crowded or indoor settings but if you can’t, then take precautions: Open a window. Increase the amount of ‘natural ventilation’ when indoors. WHO has published Q&As on ventilation and air conditioning for both the general public and people who manage public spaces and buildings. Wear a mask (see above for more details).
