Safeguarding and Integrity
Keeping young people safe is part of the work, not an add-on.
Our Support Is Non-Clinical
We work with young people during a demanding season of their lives. Here is what our support is, and what it is not.
What we offer
Practical, wellbeing-sensitive support
Practical tools, guided reflection and peer support, built into our programmes and free resources.
What we do not offer
Not therapy, counselling or crisis care
We do not provide therapy, counselling, crisis intervention or clinical treatment. When someone needs more, we help them find a qualified professional.
If you need urgent help
If you or someone you know is in danger, act now.
Contact your local emergency services straight away. Please do not wait for a reply from us: our inboxes are not monitored around the clock.
How We Keep People Safe
Clear roles and simple steps mean every concern is taken seriously and handled by the right person.
A named focal person
A Safeguarding Focal Person reviews every concern and decides the next step.
A clear escalation route
Facilitators and volunteers know what to do when a concern comes up, and who to pass it to.
Consent and privacy
We ask before we share stories or photos, and we anonymise participant data in our reports.
People decide
Safeguarding, consent and selection decisions are always made by trained people, never by software.
Raise a Concern
Anyone can raise a concern: a participant, a parent, a volunteer, a partner or a member of the public.
Tell us
Email info@r-wef.org with “Safeguarding” in the subject line. Share what happened and how to reach you.
We review it
Our Safeguarding Focal Person reads every report and decides the right next step.
We follow up
We keep you informed where we can, and keep your report confidential as far as it is safe to do so.
Integrity
Report misconduct or misuse of funds
If you are worried about fraud, misuse of donations or the behaviour of anyone working with R-WEF, please use the same route. Reports made in good faith will never count against you.
