Global Fund for Children partners to build a world where all youth are safe, strong, and valued. We pursue this mission by investing in innovative, locally led organizations, helping them deepen their impact and build their capacity for social change.
Funder Safeguarding Collaborative
The Funder Safeguarding Collaborative (FSC) is committed to building a world where safety and wellbeing are at the heart of every organisation. We are a thriving network of grant-making organisations who are driving action within their own organisations and the organisations they fund in order to create cultures and practices that keep people safe.
FSC achieves change through three mutually reinforcing strategies. We generate new knowledge and evidence about safeguarding in grant-making to improve the impact of funder practices. We then share this knowledge through creating spaces for dialogue, reflection and learning to increase awareness and commitment to safeguarding among funders. Finally, provide specialist technical support to funders to help them implement safeguarding effectively and will work with others to ensure access to high quality safeguarding support for grantee partners.
Our work is underpinned by our four core values:
• Champion Safety: We believe that everyone has the right to be safe and a duty to take action to prevent harm and promote the wellbeing of others.
• Promote Continuous Learning: We acknowledge what we don’t know, value the knowledge that diverse voices bring, and commit to continually learning, adapting, and then learning some more.
• Build Trusting Relationships: We cultivate relationships based on mutual trust and respect, creating inclusive spaces where individuals feel safe to ask questions, learn from mistakes, and improve their practices.
• Challenge Power Imbalances: We actively identify and challenge power imbalances and structural inequalities that get in the way of building safer organisations.
The FSC is nested within Global Fund for Children who provide administrative support and technical expertise to develop and grow the Collaborative.
