投诉政策

投诉政策

The Policy below deals with how we approach complaints or negative feedback about us. It is open for use by members of the public, volunteers or staff and involves five key elements:

  1. Culture. Our aim is to serve our stakeholders to the best of our ability. We accept that we are not perfect. We value complaints and feedback as a means of identifying and understanding how we can do things better.
  2. Principles. Our complaints and feedback system is modelled on biblical principles, including humility, fairness, accessibility, responsiveness, efficiency and integration.
  3. People. Our complaint handling staff will be skilled and professional.
  4. Process. Our complaints handling process involves seven stages – acknowledgment, assessment, planning, investigation, response, review, and consideration of systemic issues.
  5. Analysis. We review information about complaints as part of a continuous process of review and improvement.

We discuss these elements in more detail below:

Element 1—Culture

We are committed to achieving our Mission and Vision (https://chinaconcern.org/about-us/vision-mission/). We are equally committed to doing so in the best way possible, and without concern or hurt for any of the people we deal with. We know that despite our best efforts, we are not perfect and that we can always do better.

Accordingly, we value complaints and feedback and recognise that effective complaint handling will benefit our stakeholders, our reputation, and our administration. We affirm that complaints can highlight weaknesses in our programs, policies, and service delivery, and stimulate us to improve our operations. We also affirm that good complaint handling will reassure stakeholders that we are committed to resolving problems, improving relations, and building loyalty, and to improving our accountability and transparency.

Element 2—Principles

Our complaint and feedback handling system are based on biblical principles, modelled on principles of fairness, accessibility, responsiveness and efficiency. Complaint handling has the same priority as our core business. Each complaint will be assessed on its own merits. As far as possible confidentiality and privacy will be maintained, and we will be transparent in reporting back results to you as quickly as reasonably possible. It is our aim to resolve all complaints as quickly and efficiently as possible. For example, if they can be resolved over the phone at the time they are made, we will do so.

We will not victimise or treat any person adversely because they have made a complaint. There is no financial charge for making a complaint. If you have special needs (e.g. non English speaking background or a physical impairment), please let us know and we will do our best to assist you.

You may initiate a complaint or feedback by email, or letter – see the contact details below. If you wish to make your complaint or provide feedback anonymously, it will still receive our genuine attention, although of course we will be unable to report back or seek further information which may be able to assist us in dealing with any issue. We are happy to deal directly with you, o or through a parent, guardian, friend, or adviser.

Element 3—People

We take complaints and feedback seriously. All complaints will be investigated with complete impartiality by a staff member or Board member who is not personally involved in the issues, or by an external consultant or adviser. In matters of great significance, we may outsource the handling of a complaint to an external adviser or consultant, to whom we will give complete co-operation.

Element 4—Process

Our standard complaint handling procedures are as follows (although we reserve the right to approach a complaint more flexibly if we think it will achieve a more just and efficient outcome):

We will acknowledge each complaint promptly and give you the contact details of the person handling the complaint, ideally within 2 business days of the complaint being received. If we have not finalised your complaint within 7 days after that, we will contact you to report our progress.

We will assess the complaint and assign it priority.

If investigation is required, we will plan how the investigation is to be carried out.

We will investigate all relevant factual issues and then review the complaint in light of those facts. We will then consider options for complaint resolution.

We will contact you to discuss the complaint. In doing so we will inform you of the relevant facts we have identified and ask you to comment and/or give us any other relevant information you may have. We will then discuss with you how we propose to resolve the complaint. If we were wrong or have acted inappropriately, we will apologize.

If you are not satisfied with the proposed resolution, the relevant Board Chair will review the position, and we will contact you appropriately. If you are still not satisfied, and we believe that there are genuine issues involved, we may suggest an externally facilitated mediation or similar (for example in Australia PeaceWise (peacewise.org.au) or similar). Alternatively, you may pursue any other action which you believe is appropriate.

We will act on any systemic issues that are identified because of the complaint or feedback.

(Note – if we reasonably believe that a complaint is vexatious, trivial, or not genuine we will inform you accordingly as soon as we form that view. If you wish to take matters further, you may pursue any other action which you believe is appropriate.)

Element 5—Analysis

We appreciate that complaints and feedback can provide an insight into our programs and services and may show that they are not working as well as they might. We will use information brought to light by any complaints and feedback to improve our service to our stakeholders by:

highlighting service failings that need to be remedied; and

revealing problems and trends that can be acted on by management

We will address these with the relevant National Office or international team any significant issues which are revealed by our complaints handling and feedback procedures.

Child Protection Policy

Child & Young Adults Protection Policy

In some regions of the world this is referred to as Safeguarding and refers to any person in our care or program.

International China Concern believes protecting children from the risk of harm is a responsibility that we must all undertake. We are committed to a pro-active role that will protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse.

This policy will help to foster a safe and positive environment for children and provide guidance to all international and field staff (staff) on the acceptable behaviours and appropriate boundaries when working with children.

International China Concern will ensure that all staff and visitors are aware of this policy and commitment to ensuring risks of abuse to our children are minimised. We will ensure our staff are clear what steps to take when concerns arise regarding the safety of our children and understand that we will respond immediately to investigate concerns raised.

Definition of Terminology: The terminology of child/children covers all residents within an International Child Concern project regardless of age, sex, physical or mental capacity.

Our values, principles and beliefs require staff and volunteers to:

  • Treat every child with dignity and respect at all times.
  • Conduct themselves in a manner consistent with their position as a positive role model to children.
  • Immediately raise concerns for the safety or well-being of a child in line with the International China Concern reporting procedure.
  • Listen to our children and take any concerns raised seriously.
  • Be visible when working with children, endeavouring to ensure that other adults are present when working with children and avoiding being alone with them.
  • Work in partnership with carers and/or other professionals to ensure the protection of children.
  • Not personally criticise a staff member for perceived actions towards a child but follow defined reporting processes for alleged incidents.


International China Concern staff and volunteers will not:

  • Engage in any behaviour that is intended to shame, humiliate, belittle or degrade children.
  • Use language, make suggestions or offer advice that is inappropriate, offensive or abusive.
  • Smack, hit, physically assault children or apply extreme physical or emotional discipline measures.
  • Develop sexual relationships with children nor any kind of relationship that is deemed exploitative or abusive.
  • Spend excessive time alone with children away from others.
  • Act in ways that may be abusive or place a child at risk of abuse.
  • Behave physically in a manner that is inappropriate or sexually provocative.
  • Take children to their own home without prior approval by the relative project manager.
  • Sleep in the same bed as children.
  • Purposely neglect a child outside of recognised and approved palliative care systems. Palliative care must be approved by the relative Project Manager prior to implementation. Neglect extends to withholding food, fluids, basic care, necessary medical treatment, or provision of adequate clothing to meet basic needs.


Upon an allegation being made the International China Concern Project Manager in conjunction with the China Operations Director will put in place an action plan to ensure the safety of the child as a priority.

Disciplinary procedures will be applied to staff who have been found to have acted outside our policy guidelines. Where dictated by in-country laws, confirmed instances will be reported to welfare centre and/or legal authorities.


Consensual Relationships

While we recognise the right of a young adult to engage in relationships once past the lawful age of consent, staff may not at any time engage in any consensual relationships due to the ethical nature of the relationship between staff and care recipient. Relationships of this nature may not result in legal prosecution however they will lead to dismissal and/or removal from working on our projects.

聚焦希望
献出爱心

我们是致力于爱心关顾服务的开拓者及引领者

30年的开创性全人关顾

从零开始,到备受信赖,如今ICC已成为残疾儿童关怀护理领域的倡导和引领者。30多年来,我们提供的服务改变了成千上万弱势儿童的生活。

在不断变化的中国社会环境中,ICC与时俱进,树立一套养育和辅助残疾孩子健康、自信成长的新标准。我们敬业的物理治疗师、职业治疗师、特殊教育工作者、社会工作者、职业培训老师和医务人员等,都在孜孜不倦地工作,帮助孩子们在怀着希望、尊严和充满机遇的环境下生活。

源于爱的举动

1993年,一名新生女婴遭到遗弃,被送往中国一所孤儿院。高永恩先生(David Gotts)相信一个爱的举动能为生命带来改变。他将女婴抱起,为她取名为露丝(Rose),并送她到附近的医院接受治疗。不幸的是,露丝在当晚就过世了。

露丝活不过24 小时,但她短暂的生命触动了高永恩的心,激发了他对爱和关怀的承诺,人生轨迹也从此改变。 他反思着在孤儿院目睹的不堪:“这些宝贵的孩子不再是无名无姓的婴儿。在我眼里,每一个孩子变得和露丝一样——他们的生命都是神圣且值得我为之委身奋斗。”

ICC的起始和发展

同年,国际关心中国慈善协会随即正式成立。

ICC渴望向中国残疾儿童分享上帝的爱,尤其是那些曾遭遗弃的儿童;因此,我们开设了中国第一所以物理治疗和特殊教育为重点的护理中心。

露丝宝宝和ICC支持中国残疾儿童的故事是这本书的核心——《中国绿洲:将爱、希望和机会带给被遗忘的中国儿童》。

你可以帮助他们
实现充满机遇的人生

每一位儿童都应对未来充满盼望,并享有实现丰盛生命的机会。

改变生命

不管是住在我们“小组家庭”的成员、与原生家庭同住的孩子,
还是迈向成年的青年人,ICC为残疾儿童和青年提供全人关顾。

维系家庭

在中国,针对残疾儿童的支援颇为匮乏,加上家庭经济困难和社会偏见,摧毁了孩子对未来的希望。 ICC的"家・友同行"计划修复家庭,并为家庭的健康发展提供所需帮助。

服务失去家庭的儿童

一些不堪重负的父母作出无奈的决定,将孩子交给国家福利中心照顾,而遭受遗弃的经历将带给孩子永久的伤痛。 ICC 以“小组家庭”护理模式为孩子们提供全人关怀照顾,陪伴他们成长。 除了以小组之家迎接孩子之外,我们还提供广泛的支持服务,例如治疗、特殊教育、医疗和职业培训等。

培训青年人

随着孩子们步入成年期,ICC的职业发展计划(Pathways)为他们提供生活技能和职业培训。 青年人可以通过社区就业机会或与ICC合作的社会企业中,找到目标、自信和充满尊严的就业前景。

订购《中国绿洲》(China’s Oasis)

这是一个将爱、希望和机会带给中国被遗忘儿童的鼓舞人心故事。

那年,年仅 22 岁的高永恩先生(David Gotts)参观一所中国福利院时,对院内孩子的状况感到震惊。那时他怀里抱着一个奄奄一息的婴儿——没有名字,于是他给她取名叫露丝(意即玫瑰)。也是在那一天,国际关注中国慈善协会(ICC)诞生了。书中讲述关爱中国被遗弃的残疾儿童的故事,整整跨越二十五年。《中国绿洲》让你认识一群毕生致力于服务中国残疾儿童的人,带给你感动和激励,相信从第一页起就能抓住你的心。

“这是一本难得且鼓舞人心的读物,强烈推荐!” ——Ingo,加拿大

“这是我读过的最好的书之一, ICC很棒。” ——Holly,美国
