“This manual provides guidance to ACFID’s members to produce a policy document that describes the standards of behaviour for organisation’s staff, representatives and partners; specifically prohibits sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment; outlines how the policy is implemented throughout the organisation; and specifies the organisation’s reporting responsibilities where an incident is identified, including processes for reporting to local enforcement authorities, subject to the wishes and welfare of the complainant/survivor.”
“Guidance in this document has been informed by: the Inter Agency Steering Committee Minimum Operating Standards for Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (IASC MOS-PSEA); the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee’s (OECD DAC) Recommendation on Ending Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment in Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Assistance: Key Pillars of Prevention and Response; and the DFAT PSEAH Policy and minimum standards to facilitate alignment of expectations and practice.”
