Accountability

We are committed to delivering impactful programmes and projects that uphold our high standards and values.

We strive to be accountable to the people we support - as well as our partners, supporters, and staff - in everything that we do. This section of our website shares the key ways we do this - from legal reports and accounts, to the policies and standards we uphold across all of the Windle International family. Key reports, accounts and policies are available to download below.

Safeguarding

At Windle International we envisage a world in which all children are protected from all forms of harm. The tragic reality is that children around the world still experience violence, abuse and exploitation, despite international treaties and national legislation for their protection.

The safety and wellbeing of all people across Windle’s operations is of the utmost importance. As members of the international humanitarian and education development community, we take our responsibility to those we support extremely seriously. As passionate advocates for fundamental human rights, we have dedicated measures in place that prevent the abuse of all people, particularly those who fall within our support systems, including women, children, and vulnerable people.

We are aware that  the  opportunities  and  services  provided  through  our programmes can create a power differential between those who are employed by us and (potential)  programme  participants.  We acknowledge that there is  a  risk  for  this  power imbalance to be exploited. We have a comprehensive Global Safeguarding and Protection Framework which has been developed to ensure the maximum protection of programme participants across all countries of operation from exploitation, and to clarify the responsibilities of our staff, volunteers and visitors to the projects and the standards of behaviour expected from them.

Policies and Standards

As the International Secretariat, Windle International has in place a number of policy frameworks which cover key areas including HR, Safeguarding, Anti-Fraud and Whistleblowing. These represent the international standard, and Windle members are required to have in place their own policies which meet the standards set in the frameworks.
