Welcome to the Tearfund youth website. We hope you enjoy having a look around.
This site is designed for students and young people and the articles and content on these pages aim to engage young people with the issues of poverty and injustice, in the hope that they understand that God is deeply concerned for the poor and that if we want to grow and love Him more, we too must get involved with the poor.
We would like to let you know that we value the right to children's privacy online and that we encourage communication between children and their parents/guardians as to the websites they visit and any personal information they may give out. We want to protect children from website operators who might misuse information they collect from young people.
There are a number of pages where young people (or anyone who wants to) can sign up to receive the magazines and resources that we produce specifically for young people. We will shortly be producing a privacy policy that outlines what we do with the information.
We also request that children under the age of 13 ask the permission of their parents or guardians before giving out any personal information. This is in accordance with the US 'Children's Online Privacy Protection Act'* and because Tearfund wants to maintain its professional excellence.
*as yet there is no UK legislation.
