Help to co-create safeguarding standards for funders

As part of our ongoing collaboration with Accountable Now, Funder Safeguarding Collaborative is inviting funders, grantees and independent professionals to participate in a global survey to inform the co-creation of practical, evidence-based safeguarding standards for funders.  

In a time when safeguarding work remains more important than ever, Funders have an important role to play in motivating action and ensuring accountability for safeguarding, in their own organisations and in the organisations they fund. At present, however, very little is known about the most effective ways for funders to promote safer practice. By developing evidence-based standards, the aim is to equip funders to uphold the ‘do no harm’ principle and implement measures that are relevant, feasible and effective.

Survey closes 25 June 2025
