If there is an issue you would like to report to ChildFund New Zealand (or to another independent authority who keeps us in check), there are a couple of ways you can do this.
You can raise your complaints with our friendly support team by emailing us at info@childfund.org.nz or by calling us on 0800 808 822.
If you have a complaint concerning the inappropriate behaviour of anyone associated with ChildFund relating to another person – whether that be in relation to the safety of children, harassment of children or adults, or any other circumstance where ChildFund staff, volunteers or partners are concerned – please contact our Safeguarding Focal Point on safeguarding@childfund.org.nz or call us on 0800 808 822.
ChildFund is also a member of the Council for International Development (CID) and is a signatory to the CID Code of Conduct.
