The purpose of this policy is to define the commitment and measures to protect NRC representatives and the people NRC works with or comes into contact with from all forms of harm that might result from their involvement in or contact with the organisation.
The policy serves as an umbrella policy, covering aspects of both Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (PSEAH) and child safeguarding integrated into one policy. It addresses harm resulting from physical abuse, emotional abuse, harassment, bullying or neglect, sexual misconduct including sexual exploitation, abuse and sexual harassment or other forms of exploitation such as child labour.
NRC has a zero-tolerance approach to inaction against exploitation and abuse, and specifically sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment, and will take action to prevent and respond to such abuse and hold accountable those who do harm.
