Funders play a vital role through providing funding, promoting good practice and offering support to organisations in building safe cultures and practices.  FSC have undertaken a landscape study to understand how safeguarding is understood and practised by funders in UK.

The Report includes an overview of:

  • Trends in safeguarding in the UK and the implications of these trends for trusts and foundations in the UK.
  • Emerging trends in philanthropy in the UK and the implications for safeguarding
  • where funders and their grantee partners can access information, advice, training and guidance on safeguarding
  • the needs and opportunities to influence and strengthen safeguarding practice.
