Meet Our Multidisciplinary Staff Members
APLE team of lawyers, investigators, counselors, social workers, hotline analysts, trainers, policy advocates and communications specialists deliver coordinated, child‑centered services.
We follow strict safeguarding and ethics, including safe recruitment, child protection policies, data privacy, whistleblowing and anti‑corruption standards.
Our Guiding Principles
- Best interests of the child; do‑no‑harm; dignity, privacy and confidentiality
- Child participation and age‑appropriate communication
- Non‑discrimination and accessibility for all children
- Due process and fair standards
- Preferred terminology: APLE uses “child sexual abuse material (CSAM)” and “exploitation in prostitution,” avoiding terms that risk normalizing abuse.
