Your duty of care will be to protect all individuals involved in fundraising. Here are some key considerations for safeguarding and reporting:
▶ Reporting procedures: Make sure fundraisers know your charity’s reporting and whistleblowing policies, as well as the relevant contact numbers.
▶ Safeguarding measures: Implement a safeguarding policy to protect children and vulnerable individuals participating in fundraising events.
▶ Create a lone-working policy: When conducting door-to-door visits or meeting major donors, it’s crucial to have a lone-working policy. Consider sending two people together to reduce risks, establish policies for accepting gifts, and choose safe meeting locations.
▶ Working with third-party organisations: Requires implementing controls and conducting due diligence to ensure that your safeguarding standards are met and that partners are committed to the Code of Fundraising Practice.
▶ Regular training: Provide regular safeguarding training to staff and volunteers to raise awareness and ensure everyone understands their responsibilities.
▶ Online safeguarding: Implement appropriate age-verification or restriction measures when fundraising online.
