Following the Safeguarding Summit in March 2018, DFID’s Safeguarding Unit is funding a scoping study on whether to develop a Centre for Safeguarding Excellence. This centre would support organisations to implement best practice on safeguarding.
This survey has been designed to gather views on the use and effectiveness of safeguarding expertise by a range of organisations working within the aid and development sector.
Safeguarding, in the context of discussions on developing a Centre of Excellence, refers to frameworks or measures that are intended to safeguard everyone who works in, or comes into contact with, the organisation. The scope of safeguarding covers the responsibility of organisations to make sure their staff, operations and programmes do no harm to children and vulnerable adults, or expose them to abuse or exploitation, and includes protecting staff from inappropriate behaviour such as bullying and harassment.
Please note that all data will be anonymised in the report and destroyed on completion of the study.
Thank you for agreeing to answer this 10 minute survey!
