COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course explores key topics involved in safeguarding within the international humanitarian aid and development sector, through the lens of power and privilege, and focused on survivor-centred approaches.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Speak with confidence about safeguarding issues in our sector, using correct terminology;

• Understand the safeguarding behaviours expected of themselves and their colleagues within the sector to help foster a safe environment for everyone around them;

• Identify risk factors that create enabling environments for sexual exploitation and abuse to occur, and develop corresponding risk mitigation measures that can be built into systems and projects to enhance protection measures for staff, project participants and community members;

• Recognize the components of an appropriate and effective reporting system and integrate these into current reporting systems

This course has been designed for anyone working in the humanitarian aid and development sector, regardless of their role or location.
