1. Commitment to safety and well-being

  • We commit to ensuring a safe and positive environment for all participants, including minors, vulnerable adults, and individuals from marginalized community.
  • Implementing safeguarding practices is integral to the planning, execution, and evaluation of all events, activities, and initiatives hosted by TED.
  • While TED does not organize or hold any children events, any sponsored activities that TED-Ed provides are done directly with schools, such as TED-Ed student clubs and educator programs which are supervised by local educators, parents and managed by each local school.

2. Zero tolerance for abuse and harassment

  • TED enforces a strict no-tolerance policy for all forms of abuse, harassment, including, but not limited to physical, emotional, or sexual misconduct.
  • All reported incidents of harm will be taken seriously and dealt with swiftly through proper channels, with an emphasis on maintaining the victim's dignity and confidentiality.
