Creating a safe environment for fundraisers

We approach safeguarding with three key principles in mind. They are:

• Do no harm first. The Chartered Institute and the profession has to be a place where everyone is safe.
• Believe all those who come forward. Make it safe, simple and supportive if people disclose. Make that process a fair and balanced one.
• Listen, learn and work to share progress openly, honestly and transparently. We know that this is vital to rebuild trust and also to create systemic change.
