Our Pillars · Pillar Three
Student Safety & Privacy
The third pillar of Mera Sankalp. Most of our students are minors, and their safety comes before everything else we do — in the classroom, and in how we handle every child’s information.
Safe classes, every day
Our classes are live and online, and they are always supervised and structured. Classes are held on secure platforms, in scheduled sessions led by our teachers and coordinators — never in informal, unsupervised spaces. Every session follows a fixed, predictable format, so children always know what to expect and who is present. Sessions may be observed for quality and safety, and recordings, where made, are kept under strict control and used only for learning.
We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment, discrimination or exploitation of a child, in any form. Every concern raised with us is taken seriously and reviewed promptly.
The conduct we require of our people
Everyone who works with our students — teachers, doubt-solvers, coordinators, mentors and volunteers — is bound by a strict code of conduct:
- All interaction with a student is for teaching or for the student’s well-being support — nothing else.
- No member of our team holds private, unsupervised one-to-one contact with a student outside the GiveWise platform and its authorised channels. Doubts are solved in our scheduled doubt sessions, in the open.
- Communication is professional at all times; favouritism and personal demands are strictly prohibited.
- Every member of the team is expected to report a safety concern immediately — and no one is ever penalised for raising one in good faith.
Your child’s information
Protecting a child includes protecting what we know about them:
- We collect only the minimum information needed to teach and support a student.
- Student information is stored securely and is accessible only to authorised members of our team.
- We never sell student information, and we never share it with third parties for commercial use.
- A student’s image or work is never published by us in a way that identifies the child without care for their safety and privacy.
Raising a concern
If anything about a child’s safety or well-being concerns you — as a student, a parent, a teacher or a member of the public — please write to us through our Contact page. You do not need proof, and you may raise a concern anonymously if you prefer; anonymous concerns are reviewed with the same seriousness as named ones. No one will ever face retaliation for raising a genuine concern.
At GiveWise, raising a concern is a right — not a risk. Every voice is heard, respected, and protected.
