This IFRC Safeguarding Framework, and the associated self-assessment tool, is designed to help National Societies systematically evaluate their organizational structures in order to make an evidence-based plan to enhance safeguarding and safe and inclusive programming. Its goal is to assist National Societies to identify gaps and opportunities, calculate a risk score, and formulate an action plan to fulfill our commitment to preventing harm.
