INTRODUCTION

The Catholic order of the Salesians of Don Bosco strive to promote children and young people in their holistic development, guard them from neglect and abuse and, furthermore, assist them in difficult life situations. It does so worldwide in over 130 countries. At all our institutions children and young people are entrusted to our care.
As soon as they enter our institutions, we accept joint responsibility for them and their development. In that respect, we fulfil our duty of supervision giving absolute top priority to the welfare of young people.  Each act or failure of act respectively of a member of staff which has led or might have led to the abuse of the human rights of young people completely contradicts our mission in Don Bosco Fambul. This also includes the
concealment of knowledge about cases of
abuse concerning young people entrusted to
us. We encourage all our beneficiaries in our drop-in centre, in our rehabilitation programme, in our family tracing and skill department, in our youth centre and all our callers on the crisis line,
