IELTS CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

IELTS believes that child protection requires everyone to take responsibility
and that every child matters. We recognise that the care, protection and welfare
of children are paramount and that all children have the right to be protected
from all types of harm or abuse. This includes a responsibility to protect
children from any harm or risk.

We aim to achieve this through compliance with all applicable child protection
laws and by adhering to Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child (UNCRC) 1989.

A child is defined as anyone who has not reached their 18th birthday (UNCRC
1989) irrespective of the age of majority in the country where the child is, or
in their home country.

In relation to the management, recognition and administration of the IELTS test,
IELTS is committed to:



 * Valuing, respecting and listening to children.

 * Ensuring all necessary checks are made when recruiting staff.

 * Maintaining strong child protection systems and procedures for staff.

 * Training its staff and providing a common understanding of child protection
   issues to inform planning and practice.

 * Protecting the data protection rights of children.

 * Sharing information about any concerns with the relevant agencies and
   involving parents and children appropriately.

 * Providing effective management for staff through clear processes, supervision
   and support.
