A dedicated Board of Directors and a multidisciplinary team hold APLE to the highest standards of integrity, safety, and accountability — so the trust placed in us by children and families is never taken for granted.

Our Multidisciplinary Team
Lawyers, investigators, counsellors, social workers, hotline analysts, trainers, policy advocates, and communications specialists work side by side to deliver coordinated, child-centred services. Every person at APLE works under strict safeguarding and ethics standards — safe recruitment, our Child Protection Policy, data privacy, a whistleblowing mechanism, and anti-corruption standards — because an organisation protecting children must first be able to prove it protects them from itself.
Legal & Justice
Pro bono legal representation and court accompaniment for child survivors.
Investigation & Hotline
Proactive casework and Cambodia’s INHOPE-compliant internet hotline.
Survivor Care
Counselling, social work, and coordinated recovery services.
Training
Capacity-building for law enforcement, teachers, and frontline workers.
Policy & Comms
Evidence-based advocacy and responsible public communication.
Our Guiding Principles
Every decision APLE makes — in casework, in policy, in partnership — is measured against the same six principles.
Best Interests of the Child
Every decision starts with what most protects and benefits the child involved.
Do No Harm
Our response is designed never to add to a child’s trauma or risk.
Dignity & Confidentiality
Privacy is protected at every stage, for every survivor and family.
Child Participation
Children are heard through age-appropriate, meaningful communication.
Non-Discrimination
Every child is served without exception, regardless of background or ability.
Due Process & Fairness
Justice is pursued through fair, lawful standards, for survivors and the accused alike.
A note on language: APLE uses the term “child sexual abuse material (CSAM)” rather than “child pornography,” and “exploitation in prostitution” rather than terms that risk normalising abuse. The words we choose shape how this issue is understood.
Governance Built for the Next Five Years
Strong programmes need a strong foundation. Under our 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, APLE is committed to a diversified funding base with no single source exceeding 30% of revenue, a 12-month operational reserve, workforce retention above 85%, regularly reviewed governance and operational SOPs, and a resourced monitoring, evaluation, and learning function. External impact depends entirely on internal institutional strength — this is the foundation that holds every other part of our work in place.
