Bali hoteliers step up fight against child abuse
The 106-member hotels of the Bali Hotels Association (BHA) have pledged to set new standards in the fight against child abuse on the Indonesian island.
In a joint project between the Sacred Childhoods Foundation and BHA, hoteliers have unveiled child sex detection and prevention guidelines.
The guidelines were launched at a security workshop in Bali aimed at keeping tourists safe on the island.
The Sacred Childhoods Foundation, which is supported by the Australian Federal Police as well as US State Department, has created a report form and detection guidelines which are communicated to all BHA Hotels in order to protect the well-being of children.
"Child abuse is an issue, not only in Bali but all around the world. BHA strives to do whatever is needed to support the authorities to fight child abuse to educate its employees and to keep a watchful eye," said
Alexander Kesper, BHA security and safety executive,
Subjects covered by the workshop ranged from counter-terrorism to risk management to perimeter-control best practices.
Guest speakers from the British and Australian embassies provided special insights into the current threat environment in Bali.
Kesper added, "To safeguard our guests and employees is a top priority and a team effort."
