Embedding safeguarding with a support membership from FSC

One of FSC’s members is a grant-making organisation working to tackle violence against children globally. With a deep belief in the importance of keeping people safe, the organisation took up a SUPPORT membership with the main aim of finalising its organisational safeguarding policy and ensuring safe practices were embedded across all aspects of their work.

How did FSC help?

FSC supported the organisation to finalise its first ever safeguarding policy and to ensure that the core team, consultants and advisory board members were aware of and committed to implementing their safeguarding responsibilities.

FSC provides on-going support to the team as they implement their safeguarding policy. This includes support to resolve any challenges which may emerge, and the development of tools or guidance to assist with implementation.

As part of their commitment to continual learning and improvement, FSC supported the Safeguarding Lead with a one-year review of their safeguarding policy to ensure the policy remains relevant and realistic.

Being a member at FSC opened the door for the organisation to engage in learning around other safeguarding-related matters, through discussions with FSC and exchanging learning with other funders in the FSC network.

The organisation felt they were able to jump relatively quickly from having no policy to having a cutting-edge policy that works well for them. and they have been able to create space for and hold critical conversations on safeguarding with their team, Advisory Board, as well as grantee partners. They feel positive about having raised the profile of safeguarding in their work.

"As a person who was new to the safeguarding landscape, it was really great to have FSC as a resource and sounding board for us.” Segal Family Foundation
