- Document how people can raise safeguarding concerns safely;
- Outline Good Neighbors’ procedures including responsibilities, prevention, reporting, responding and training to promote awareness of safeguarding obligations.
It applies to all Good Neighbors employees in all Partnership Countries, Global Offices, affiliated organizations and partners. It also applies during working hours and also outside of working hours to ensure zero tolerance towards incidents of violence, sexual exploitation and abuse by Good Neighbors employees, partners, programming or operations.
