Recruitment and vetting
Criminal record certificate, references, probation periods, volunteers and external contractors.
Level 1
"Protective Environment" Certification
What is not verified is not protected.
Purpose
We evaluate what actually happens, not what is written down.
The certification is based on observation of practices, document review and interviews with staff. It measures the gap between stated procedures and daily operations.
Supervision and staffing ratios
The no-isolation rule, pairing of staff, adult presence during higher-risk moments.
Spaces and circulation
Changing rooms, toilets, dormitories, areas without visibility, outdoor access points.
Transport, camps and residential stays
Travel, overnight stays, competitions, mountain camps and outings.
Digital environment
Adult-to-child communication, social media, images and personal data.
Incident management
Detection, traceability, response, informing families and the competent authorities.
A changing room, a corridor, a journey: this is where protection is truly at stake.
