Language Open Learning, the online English language course, has signed up to the Corporate Child Protection Charter.
The Language Open Learning website and course , which is an associate company of Bangkok based AT Group, is now in its final stages of completion and should be ready for general release at the end of May 2011. Principal of Language Open Learning, Ken Thorkildsen, and business associate David Mitchell of DM Consulting, also based in Bangkok, Thailand, felt that it was very important to start the business with the correct ethos in relation to having an online business.
Companies in Thailand are leading the way in combating child sexual exploitation by way of signing the CEOP Corporate Child Protection Charter. This initiative led by CEOP and the British Chamber of Commerce Thailand (BCCT) aims to raise awareness of child exploitation issues and to encourage all sectors of society to work to safeguard children.
In signing this important Charter, companies are stating their commitment to the principle of making every child matter, everywhere.
