It is the policy of Compassion International to protect children in our programs from abuse by instituting reasonable guidelines and procedures to direct the interactions of Compassion International staff, partners, sponsors and other visitors with registered children.
We believe that the vast majority of our sponsors share our organization's values of respecting and caring for children. In order to ensure our children's protection and determine eligibility to travel with Compassion, a simple background check is required prior to participating in a sponsor tour. The fee for it is included in the tour cost. A background check form will be provided, and must be filled out and returned by each traveler.
For more information regarding our commitment to child protection, please see our Child Protection Policy.
