- Lighting in paths, entrances and shared areas
- Clear quiet hours and behavioural expectations
- Fire-safety equipment and evacuation procedures
- First-aid readiness and referral procedures
- Child safeguarding and family supervision expectations
- Confidential incident and complaint reporting
- Policies against violence, sexual harassment, exploitation and substance-related disruption
Immediate danger or protection concerns
The Hospitality Centre is not an emergency response service. In Kenya, someone facing immediate danger should contact the National Police Service through 999, 112 or 911. A child-protection concern can be reported through the National Child Helpline 116. Gender-based violence support can be sought through the national toll-free helpline 1195.
Immediate help in Kenya
Do not wait for a hospitality enquiry response if someone is in danger.
