BDF is committed to responsible financial management, transparency and the careful stewardship of all funds entrusted to the Foundation. Financial decisions are supported by documented internal controls, clear approval procedures and regular financial reporting.

At the Bali Dyslexia Foundation, strong governance is central to our mission of providing inclusive education for neurodivergent and underprivileged children across Indonesia. As a registered Yayasan since 2019, we are committed to transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership in every aspect of our work.

Child Safeguarding & Protection

The safety, dignity and wellbeing of every child involved in BDF programmes is a fundamental priority.

BDF maintains clear safeguarding and child-protection procedures covering staff, teachers, interns, volunteers, visitors and external partners. These include appropriate supervision, codes of conduct, consent procedures, responsible use of photographs and personal information, reporting mechanisms, and procedures for responding to safeguarding concerns.

All individuals working directly with children through BDF are expected to understand and comply with our safeguarding requirements before participating in programme activities.

BDF is committed to creating learning environments in which children are protected from abuse, exploitation, discrimination, harassment and inappropriate behaviour, while ensuring their privacy, dignity and voice are respected.

Protecting the children and communities we serve is a fundamental priority.

BDF maintains comprehensive child safeguarding policies, robust data protection procedures, and cultural inclusion protocols, particularly when working with vulnerable communities and international volunteers.

Concerns relating to the safety or welfare of a child should be reported promptly to BDF through our designated safeguarding contact.
