Cánh Diều Việt Nam (CDV) is a Vietnamese-led organisation dedicated to empowering vulnerable children and youth through inclusive, community-driven and culturally grounded solutions.
CDV is working on evolving from policy level to practical system-wide implementation of child safeguarding: ‘We aim to operationalise safeguarding within governance, service delivery, and ESG systems; ensuring organisations can identify, prevent and respond to risks to children in a consistent and measurable way’ expressed CDV’s representative.
By joining the KCS Members Network, the organisation expects to get support in that process to stay aligned to the International Child Safeguarding Standards.
In conversation with KCS, their representative stated: ‘We see KCS as a valuable network where we can learn from others, access practical tools and contribute to improving child safeguarding in both nonprofit organisations and businesses.’
Within the next year, they aim to be fully aligned with international standards, have trained staff and strong safeguarding systems. All with the goal of achieving safer environments for children across sectors.
They shared the following message with the community: ‘We work in partnership and shared purpose to uplift vulnerable children across Vietnam; honouring their diversity, unlocking their potential and enabling self-determined futures through education, care and community support.’
It is a pleasure to welcome CDV to our network. We look forward to seeing them advance their child safeguarding.
