1. Introduction

Concern is aware that the goods and services provided through our relief and development programmes can create a power differential between those who are employed or engaged by Concern and other programme participants. We acknowledge that there is potential for this power imbalance to be exploited by Concern staff to acquire bribes, payments, gifts, and/or sexual favours. This policy has been developed to ensure the maximum protection of programme participants, especially beneficiaries, from abuse and exploitation, and to clarify the responsibilities of Concern staff, partner organisations and anyone engaged by Concern or visiting our programmes, and the standards of behaviour expected of them.

‘Programme participant’ refers to any individual associated with Concern’s programmes and includes:

? beneficiaries of programmes delivered by Concern or its partners

? people employed or engaged by Concern, whether national or international, full or part time, consultants, interns, contractors or volunteers, or any person actively involved in the Concern programme

? Concern’s partner organisations, their staff and anyone working on their behalf

Abuse of power has, in the past, led to many forms of exploitation within the relief and development sphere. Concern condemns any abusive or exploitative behaviour and is committed to the protection of its programme participants, particularly the beneficiaries, as they are the most vulnerable.

Anyone contracted to work with Concern or working on behalf of Concern must formally agree to adhere to this policy.

2. Concern’s policy
It is Concern’s policy to take all reasonable steps to protect beneficiaries - children, women and men - from harassment and abuse perpetrated by:
? staff of Concern
? staff of Concern’s partner organisations and anyone working on their behalf
? people engaged by Concern such as consultants, contractors, volunteers, interns, or any person actively involved in the Concern programme
? visitors to Concern’s programmes and accompanying dependants of international staff1.

This policy concentrates on prevention of abuse of all programme participants regardless of sex or age. All programme participants have the same right to freedom from abuse and exploitation. Such rights are outlined in, among other documents, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights2 (UDHR), the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)3, the UN Convention for the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)4, and in the national laws of most of the countries in which we work.

We acknowledge that certain groups, such as children (individuals under 18 years of age) and women are considered most at risk from abuse, harassment, physical and sexual violence. The HIV and AIDS pandemic has added to the vulnerability of women and children. We believe that children deserve special protection given their particular vulnerabilities5.

As we work in situations that present serious and specific risks to children, we will ensure that any of our programmes which address the needs of children will be delivered in a manner that considers their safety and protection. We will ensure that programmes always take into account the situation of children, the specific protection risks and issues they face (which may be different for boys and girls) and address these as far as possible. We will not tolerate anybody employed by or associated with Concern harming children.
