This is a strategy document which sets out the Civil Society Support Programme’s (CSSP2) commitment on a) responding to concerns raised by our staff, partners, contractors and beneficiaries with regards to all forms of violence and b) minimising the likelihood of any harm to beneficiaries, other community members, staff and CSSP2 partners may encounter. It provides a useful steer for what to include in safeguarding strategies with examples of minimum standards that can be applied to grantees within a programme, an example code of conduct, roles and responsibilities for safeguarding within a programme and how cases will be managed.
