In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the need for organisations to safeguard their staff and the communities with whom they work from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Sexual Harassment (SEAH). Being a safe organisation, however, is not just a compliance issue. All organisations face the risk of SEAH.
Creating safe workplaces contributes to staff being more productive, innovative and better able to achieve the organisation’s objectives. Assessing and mitigating risks that your organisation might present to communities, contributes to better quality programmes and improved outcomes.
Safeguarding from SEAH is important for all organisations working in the sector, regardless of focus, size or type. What do you need to do to address risks for safeguarding?
There are global good practices for addressing safeguarding risks. These good practices are reflected in international safeguarding standards which your organisation can implement.
