Safeguarding-Course

CKU invites member organizations and their south partners to a virtual seminar on Safeguarding.
This is the first of two virtual seminars.

The purpose of Safeguarding is to ensure that all people are treated with respect, dignity and worth, and to avoid negative effects and harm for project recipients and partners in project activities supported by CKU. It is a requirement in CKU that self-administering organizations have their own Safeguarding policy, and that local partners have a local complaint and response mechanism in place when receiving CKU grants above 500,000 DKK.

Safeguarding expert Mette Honore is the presenter of the seminar. She will introduce what safeguarding is, why it is important, and how you can implement it in your organization.

The first seminar will be an introduction to Safeguarding. The seminar will provide a basic understanding of definitions, a survivor-centered approach, and how to set up a complaint mechanism. The course is relevant for development practitioners, but also for persons in management, pastors, and board members – in general, anyone who has a role relevant to a safeguarding system in their organization.
