Listen and assess
Understand needs, local context, risks, existing services, and who should participate in decisions.
● Transparency & safeguarding
Accountability should be visible, practical, and open to questions.
We are committed to responsible stewardship, safe participation, honest communication, and clear ways for donors, communities, partners, and the public to raise concerns.
How accountability works
Clear responsibilities from intention to reporting.
Accountability is more than publishing a report. It shapes how priorities are selected, resources are approved, activities are delivered, information is protected, and lessons are used.
Our public information is written to be understandable and appropriately cautious. Where data, registrations, financial statements, partnerships, or outcomes have not been formally verified, we do not present them as established facts.
We would rather explain what is not yet available than fill an information gap with an unsupported claim.
Approve responsibly
Define purpose, scope, budget, roles, safeguarding expectations, and decision authority before activity begins.
Document delivery
Maintain proportionate records for resources, participation, incidents, consent, referrals, and changes.
Review and communicate
Compare delivery with plans, identify limitations, respond to concerns, and communicate only verified information.
Our accountability framework
Six commitments that guide our work.
These commitments apply to programs, fundraising, partnerships, communications, and the handling of personal information.
Purpose and governance
Activities should have a defined charitable purpose, appropriate oversight, documented responsibilities, and decisions made within agreed authority.
Responsible stewardship
Funds and resources should be restricted to their agreed purpose, supported by records, reviewed for irregularities, and reported without misleading simplification.
Safeguarding and dignity
Children and adults at risk must be treated with dignity. Safety, consent, confidentiality, and responsible reporting take priority over publicity or convenience.
Evidence and learning
Monitoring should be proportionate, ethical, and useful. Outputs, outcomes, estimates, and personal stories must not be presented as interchangeable evidence.
Privacy and information care
Personal information should be collected only when needed, accessed only by appropriate people, retained responsibly, and never used beyond the stated purpose without a lawful basis.
Speak-up and response
People should be able to ask questions or report concerns without intimidation. Reports are assessed, documented, escalated where necessary, and handled as confidentially as safety allows.
Financial stewardship
Every contribution deserves careful handling.
Donation arrangements are confirmed before a contribution is completed. We aim to give donors a clear understanding of the intended use, available records, and the appropriate contact route for questions.
✓
Purpose clarityRestricted or campaign-specific support is recorded against its communicated purpose.
✓
Proportionate approvalExpenditure should be authorized by an appropriate person and supported by documentation.
✓
Separation of dutiesWhere practical, requesting, approving, paying, and reviewing are not controlled by one person.
✓
Exception reviewUnusual, incomplete, duplicate, or higher-risk transactions should receive additional review.
Safeguarding
Safety, dignity, and the best interests of the person come first.
Safeguarding applies to staff, volunteers, representatives, visitors, contractors, partners, communications, data collection, and anyone acting in connection with our work.
Concerns may relate to abuse, exploitation, harassment, neglect, unsafe conduct, retaliation, privacy breaches, inappropriate images or stories, conflicts of interest, fraud, or misuse of resources.
Read our child-protection approach →Reduce foreseeable risk
Use role-appropriate checks, clear conduct expectations, risk assessment, safe recruitment practices, consent processes, and partner requirements.
Know what to notice
Help representatives identify indicators of harm, boundary violations, unsafe environments, disclosure, retaliation, and information-security concerns.
Act without investigating informally
Listen calmly, record essential facts, protect immediate safety, preserve confidentiality, and report through the appropriate route.
Strengthen practice
Review incidents and near misses, address control gaps, improve guidance, and communicate lessons without identifying affected people.
Speak up safely
Report a safeguarding, conduct, or financial concern.
You do not need complete evidence before raising a genuine concern. Share what you know, how you can be contacted, and whether anyone may be in immediate danger.
Immediate danger or medical emergencyContact the relevant local emergency service or statutory authority first. This website is not an emergency-response service.

Information is shared only with people who need it to assess safety, meet legal obligations, and respond appropriately. Absolute confidentiality cannot be promised where someone may be at risk or disclosure is required by law.
What happens next
How concerns are handled.
The response will depend on the nature, seriousness, location, applicable law, and immediate safety needs of the matter reported.
Receive and acknowledge
The concern is recorded through an appropriate confidential route and available contact details are used for follow-up.
Assess immediate risk
Urgent safety, medical, legal, data-protection, or preservation needs are identified and escalated where required.
Assign and respond
The matter is directed to an appropriate person without avoidable conflicts of interest. External referral may be required.
Close and learn
Actions and rationale are documented, the reporter is updated where appropriate, and lessons inform stronger controls.
Good-faith reporting and non-retaliation
Intimidation or retaliation against a person who raises a genuine concern is inconsistent with our standards. Deliberately false or malicious allegations are different from reports made honestly that are not ultimately substantiated.
Information integrity
Responsible evidence, stories, and communications.
Public trust depends on how information is gathered as well as what is published. We aim to avoid exaggeration, tokenism, coercion, dehumanising language, intrusive imagery, and narratives that remove a person’s agency.
✓
Consent is meaningfulParticipation in a story or image should be informed, voluntary, appropriate to age and capacity, and revocable where practicable.
✓
Privacy is deliberateNames, locations, images, health details, and family circumstances are limited when identification could create risk.
✓
Claims are proportionateWe distinguish activities delivered, people reached, short-term change, longer-term outcomes, estimates, and independently verified results.
✓
Corrections are visibleMaterial errors should be corrected promptly, with the updated information communicated through an appropriate channel.
Partners and third parties
Shared work requires shared standards.
Before entering a material partnership, the level of review should reflect the proposed activity, location, value, risk, access to vulnerable people, and handling of funds or personal information.
