About the NEMECSEK Programme
The story of the Hungarian novel “The Paul Street Boys”, the Grund, and Ernő Nemecsek resonates deeply with many people, not only in Hungary but across the world. It speaks about the themes of unity, listening to one another, acceptance, and the importance of support. These values are central to our programme, as we aim to help organisations become more transparent and foster communities where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered to give their best.
Our programme supports communities that work with children—such as schools, nurseries, sports clubs, and summer camps—by guiding them in taking concrete steps to operate safely and develop their own child safeguarding policies. Here’s what you should know about a child safeguarding policy:
- It outlines the principles and guidelines that ensure both children and adults feel safe within the community.
- It strengthens awareness of children’s rights, helps identify boundary violations, and addresses bullying.
- It provides a clear, transparent framework for preventing, managing, and following up on cases of abuse and bullying, making the process for handling incidents open and understandable. This ensures everyone knows who to approach for advice, how to seek help, how to report an issue, and what to expect when a report is made.
- Ultimately, a safeguarding policy fosters a sense of unity, improves the organisation’s environment, builds trust, and strengthens communication among community members.

Transparency and prevention
Whether it’s peer-to-peer or adult-child abuse, it’s essential that everyone knows who to turn to for help. The organisation must implement a clear and transparent framework with established guidelines to prevent, address, and follow up on incidents of abuse.
Why is it beneficial for all members of the organisation to have a child safeguarding policy?
- Within the organisation, adults and children know where to turn to if they have a problem.
- Professionals working with children are better equipped to recognise warning signs, enabling them to manage incidents of abuse more effectively.
- The organisation becomes more transparent and clearer for professionals, parents and children.
- Cooperation between the institution and parents becomes easier and smoother.
- The institutional environment will become safer and more secure for both professionals and children.
- Children are supported by better-trained and more competent professionals.
