Thanks for taking the quiz in the previous section to test your knowledge about identifying the different forms of harm. 

In Unit 2 of Introduction to Safeguarding in the International Development Sector, you have been introduced to the safeguarding framework and learnt about the meaning of abuse, exploitation and harassment.

You have reflected on power, position and privilege and how the misuse of power can lead to harm. You have considered different forms of harm, the examples of harm and learnt to identify the indicators for each of these harms.

You have taken a closer look at safeguarding in the context of children, and adults, when they feel safe and how to keep them safe.

In Unit 3, you will learn about how organisations can prevent harm from happening if they are aware of the risks.

Before you move on, reflect on your own learning so far. Consider the following questions and make a note of your answers in your learning journal.

  • What was the most significant thing you learnt in this unit?
  • What measures can organisations put in place to keep themselves and those who they work with safe?

Now go to Unit 3: Prevention.
