Almost every safeguarding policy here is written in English. The children it protects often cannot read a word of it.
No ads. No tracking. Nothing collected about children — that's the point.
No Acholi edition exists yet. Ask for it and we will tell you the day a reviewer who speaks it has approved one.
Nothing is published, printed or sent unreviewed.
Three of our most-used resources. Read them now, print them today — they're yours. These are the English originals; local-language editions follow as reviewers approve them.
The whole framework, teachable in one evening: three rules, one reporting route.
Pocket cardThe exact card wording, ready to print, cut and hand to every child.
ChecklistTen points behind our label — run them on anything already in your home or classroom.
A policy in a filing cabinet protects no one. This is the path from a document written in English to a poster a child reads in their own language — and how the next language stays paid for. Every number here is live, from this site's own records.
A school shares the safeguarding policy it already has, in English.
14 resources so farOpen models built in Uganda for Ugandan languages do the first pass.
A machine drafts — it never publishesSomeone who speaks the language checks the words, and the hardest terms are agreed once, then reused.
Nothing publishes unreviewedPosters, cards and signage, printed locally. What they earn pays the reviewers who check the next one.
The first packs are logged hereAll 14 of them. We would rather write that plainly than let this page imply otherwise — the gap is the reason the work exists, and closing it is the work. Local-language editions appear here as reviewers approve them, and each one stays free to download for any school that wants it.
First languages: Swahili, Luganda and Acholi. Some languages are not yet well served by any model we would trust — where that is true we will say so, rather than publish words no speaker has checked.
Everything a school needs to put its safeguarding promises where people can see them. Download and print it yourself at no cost, or order it printed and delivered — in English today, and in your community's language as those editions are approved.
A poster nobody can read is decoration, and a translation nobody checked is a risk. Every piece here has to survive both tests — and states its basis, right where you can check it.
A mark that may only be applied to items passing the published 10-point checklist.
Basis: non-toxic vinyl, child-safe inks, checklist-gated use.
The badgeWorn only by adults who are vetted, named and briefed — children are taught to look for it.
Basis: breakaway lanyard; issuance requires the vetting standard.
The cardThree rules and one number, in words a child keeps — tested with children, not just approved by adults.
Basis: rounded corners, tear-resistant stock, reviewed wording.
The posterA wall that answers the hardest question a child can ask: who do I tell?
Basis: reviewed wording; blank focal-person lines your school fills in.
What each item earns funds the people who check every translation, and prints free materials for the schools that need them most. As final prices land, we'll publish the exact ratio next to every product — a claim you can check, like everything else here.

Rather give than buy? Sponsor a safeguarding pack for a classroom, a school or a whole community — or fund the review of a whole language edition, so it reaches every school free. Every delivered pack is logged publicly with the school, the district and what went up. The feed starts with the first delivery.
Sponsor a packSafeSpace is one node in a cohort of organisations working on children's safety and wellbeing. This feed tracks the work as it happens — short, dated, and real.
New this month: the core-promises framework, the child-friendly policy template, and the receiving-a-disclosure standard for staff.
Draft posters and pocket cards reviewed with teachers and a children's group; wording simplified twice before sign-off.
Two reviewers agreed to check safeguarding translations for the shared glossary — the human gate before anything publishes.
Entries marked Sample show the shape of this feed — they're replaced by real cohort updates as partners share them.
We'd rather show you honest numbers than borrowed ones. Every figure below comes from this site's live records — and every claim on this page links to the page that proves it.
This part is for children. Stories about being brave, a quiz on the three rules, and things to print and make — safe to explore alone, with help always one tap away.
Enter the Children's CornerSafeSpace is built by ASAT Labs as part of a Global Fund for Children cohort working on children's safety and wellbeing — born from watching safeguarding policies protect filing cabinets instead of children. A policy written in a language a community does not read is not a safeguard; it is paperwork. The translation work we're proposing with cohort partners lives here, and the shared glossary it builds — the agreed words for the hardest terms, in each language — is the part no organisation could afford to make alone.
