Working overseas

This NCVO guide explains that organisations working overseas must apply the same safeguarding practices required in England whilst also meeting the host country's additional requirements. It directs readers to key international frameworks, including the Core Humanitarian Standard and the Inter-Agency Standing Committee's minimum operating standards on preventing sexual exploitation and abuse. The guide signposts BOND's safeguarding resources collection, FCDO standards and reporting mechanisms, and the Safeguarding Resource and Support Hub (RSH), an open-access platform offering quality-assured guidance for organisations in the international aid sector. It is particularly relevant to INGOs and smaller organisations beginning to develop or strengthen overseas safeguarding practice.
