ISKCON of Delaware is part of a worldwide movement, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, managed by a Governing Body Commission (GBC). As members of this organization, we stand for the care and protection of all.
Everyone must do their part if we are to maintain a high standard of community care and support. If you have a concern you are encouraged to Speak Up! You do not need to be certain of all the facts. If you see or hear something that concerns you, a sense that something is not right, or if you have a question, you have several options:
- Discuss with the Temple President
- Speak to any member of the Board, Temple Management, or a trusted community member
- Reach out to a member of our Child Protection Team
When you ask questions or report problems, you are helping to ensure ISKCON of Delaware achieves and sustains a safe and welcoming community. You are helping build the foundation of our future success in being a place where the philosophy of bhakti is not just taught, but lived.
Confidentiality
Any information provided through Speak Up! or through any other reporting channel will be treated confidentially. In some instances, if an investigation is needed, information may be shared on a need-to-know basis. ISKCON of Delaware may be required by law to report certain types of activities.
Retaliation is Prohibited
ISKCON of Delaware will not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a problem in good faith, nor will we tolerate retaliation against anyone who participates in an investigation. If you believe you have been retaliated against or have witnessed retaliation please share that with the appropriate authority. Making a report in “good faith” means that you provide all the information that you have and you report honestly, regardless of whether the investigation of your report uncovers any actual misconduct.
