A MEMBERSHIP ORGANISATION
CHI is a membership organisation. In order to maintain a professional, quality network, CHIs members must adhere to certain membership requirements:
Full members are those child helplines who fulfill all of the CHI membership criteria:
Annual submission of data;
Annual completion of the Principles and Standards Self-Assessment (PSA) tool;
Payment of annual membership fee.
Associate members are organisations CHI is working closely with to start fully functioning child helplines. Associate members can become full members after one year of operation and meeting the full membership criteria.
Potential members are those organisations which have expressed an interest in starting a child helpline, and existing child helplines who are not yet part of the CHI network.
