Safeguarding and participation
Being an alumnus, mentor or supporter does not automatically give someone unrestricted access to a young person or their information.
Where children, mentoring, photography or personal information are involved, appropriate safeguards and permissions should be in place.
Safeguarding concern: email WhatNext Africa. Please share only the information needed for the concern to be understood and reviewed.
WhatNext Africa is not an emergency-response service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency or statutory service in the relevant location.
Privacy, complaints and concerns
Privacy or account request: whatnextafricahq@gmail.com or review the Privacy notice.
Programme, conduct or other concern: contact us by email. Concerns raised in good faith should be received and reviewed appropriately.
We describe partnerships and sponsorships according to their actual status. A meeting, introduction, event appearance, donation or informal support does not by itself mean that a formal partnership or endorsement exists.
