Be a Child Safe Traveller Children living and working in tourist areas are especially vulnerable to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Your small actions can make a big difference to create a safer tourism environment and help prevent child abuse and exploitation. ACTION 1
ACTION 4
Child sexual abuse is against the law. If you see or suspect child abuse tell your hotel, tour guide or someone who can take action to protect the child. To report abuse directly, call 1300.
ACTION 2 Instead of giving money to children begging or selling things on the street, purchase from local businesses and social enterprises that support families and communities, or donate to reputable children’s charities.
Please don’t support ‘orphanage tourism’. Visiting and volunteering with children in institutional care can be detrimental to their emotional and physical well-being. Instead support organisations and initiatives that enable children to be cared for within a family.
ACTION 5 Choose hotels, tour companies and businesses that implement child protection standards.
ACTION 6
ACTION 3 Always ask permission before taking photos of children and never take them anywhere without the supervision and permission of their parents or guardians.
Spread the word about Child Safe Tourism. Share this information with your friends and family while you travel and when you return home.
