Safeguarding

It is our duty to protect and safeguard staff, partners, vulnerable communities and all those that come into contact with our work. Safeguarding incidents are abuses of power and entrenched gender inequality. We promote an organisational culture where abuse is unacceptable, and everyone is safe and able to flourish, is integral to our values and our local partnerships.
