Safeguarding Matters

Safe recruitment means integrating safeguarding elements into every step of the recruitment cycle. However, for small non-governmental and civil society organisations, having a dedicated person working on human resources is often a challenge, particularly during intense times like the influx of refugees from the war on Ukraine. Employers are often faced with the need to bring staff on board immediately to respond to needs while also screening candidates to ensure that they do not cause harm to the refugees by engaging in unsafe behaviours. It is difficult to get the balance right.
