Unit 3: Reporting, responding and investigations
3.3 What are the next steps?
Leaders in international organisations must be clear and decisive when taking next steps.
Such next steps may include:
- Setting up a safeguarding committee or organising one specifically to deal with safeguarding concerns.
- Deciding on who should be part of this committee to streamline decisions being taken. Ensuring that there are regular and co-opted members.
- Communicating with stakeholders (donors, regulatory bodies, staff and partners) without divulging confidential information.
- Risk assessing next steps including undertaking an internal investigation and/or reporting to law enforcement.
