Safeguarding Policy
Karuna is committed to protecting children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of physical or psychological violence, injury or abuse, neglect, maltreatment, exploitation and sexual abuse.
Our Safeguarding Principles
What action do we take?
We treat all allegations of abuse very seriously and investigate any cases thoroughly.
If you would like to find out more about our safeguarding work or to report a concern about a child or vulnerable adult who participates in a Karuna funded programme please contact our Safeguarding Team on 020 7700 3434 or
If the child or vulnerable adult is at immediate risk of significant harm, please contact the relevant emergency services in the country the child or vulnerable adults resides in.
It is essential that Karuna can communicate with our supporters in order to ensure that the work we do is as effective as possible. Unlike other charities, we won’t bombard you. We will write to you twice a year with important updates on how your donation is making a difference and may call or email you from time to time to let you know about new events at Karuna. That’s it. You can change your preferences at any time by getting in touch.
