 All jobs will include a probationary period and the condition that Justice for Children will take appropriate action at any time new information arises that will cast doubt on the employee’s trustworthiness with children. Such information will be treated confidentially and disclosed to the employee for appropriate action. 2.2.2. Volunteer programme  This involves the engagement of volunteers to assist in the organisation’s programmes and shall be done in line with the organisation’s Volunteer Policy.  If the agreed responsibilities involve direct contact with children, the selection and engagement process will not differ from the approach used to hire the organisation’s employees.  All volunteers will undergo awareness training and receive continuous education in line with their responsibilities and roles on the issue of child protection. 2.3. General standards to protect children in communication processes  JCT will seek the consent of children and their parents and guardians in all documentation and communication material produced by the organisation. Reports or documentations about individual children require an extensive description of the intended purpose and use of the media content. A copy of the consent form is attached to this policy as Annexure 1.  All material produced will ensure the privacy of the child by e.g. use of pseudonyms or concealing of faces during video documentaries.  All pictures must show children adequately dressed and should maintain their dignity. 3. CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM JCT has an institutional system for dealing with cases of suspected child abuse. The goal of the case management system is to enable an appropriate and speedy investigation of any given case. All procedures should be in line with JCT’s Human Resources Policy and Code of Conduct. Where there are inconstancies between the policies, the Human Resources Policy shall take precedence. 3.1. The Child protection Team There shall be a child protection team which ensures that all reports of child abuse within the organisation are investigated, prosecuted and documented. The team also ensures that necessary steps for protecting the affected children are taken.
