The NHRF expects all of its staff and partners to contribute in a proactive, preventative, and positive way to ensure a safe environment for people engaged with their work and to strictly adhere to a policy of zero-tolerance for corruption, discrimination and harassment. The organizations that receive grants from the NHRF have a responsibility to protect their own employees, volunteers and members, as well as their partners and local communities that are affected by their interactions. Concretely, this means that the NHRF expects all grantees to adhere to the NHRF’s safeguarding and anti-corruption policy and to develop best practices in how to ensure a healthy working environment and systems to prevent and detect misuse and fraudulent behavior. The NHRF respects the independence of its partners and grantees, who frequently work in complex and difficult environments. Funding is made available on the basis of trust in their expertise and integrity to properly navigate those complexities, including consideration for the reputation and standing of the NHRF.
However, If you are a staff member, beneficiary, implementing partner or other agent with a relation to any of the NHRF’s grantee organisations, and you are concerned that there is a breach of equality, human rights law, our guidelines, or any other misconduct related to work, you can report your concerns to us.
