Child Protection Policy

Documenta – Centre for Dealing with the Past is a documentation center and human rights organization established in 2004 in Zagreb, Croatia, with the goal of participating in the social process and dialogue on dealing with the past through various social structures, including work with youth. Young people are one of the main target groups of Documenta’s activities, and minors are involved in the following:

• Developing educational policies for involving young people in social processes and dialogue on the past;
• Developing non-formal and informal methods for engaging youth in civic education and historical learning;
• Nurturing a culture of remembrance among young people across Europe

Documenta also supports students involved in initiatives related to the culture of remembrance, policy research, and dialogue. Furthermore, it collaborates with scholars, teachers, cultural workers, museums, memorial sites, universities, cultural associations, galleries, and theaters across Europe to exchange experiences and develop educational programs.

A safeguarding or child protection policy (CPP) is a document that makes clear what an organisation does to keep children safe, mainly from abuses and harm (intentional or unintentional) of different types (sexual, physical, emotional, neglect) and misconduct (like sexual harassment, bullying).
