Global Safeguarding Policy

Trócaire’s Vision, Mission and Values state that we believe in the intrinsic dignity of every person, celebrate difference and aim to create relationships of mutual respect wherein the rights and dignity of every person are respected. Trócaire’s work is inspired and informed by Catholic Social Teaching, one of the fundamental principles of which is the dignity of each individual. The right to freedom from all forms of exploitation and abuse is implicit in this principle. Underpinned by Trócaire’s organisational value of accountability and commitment to do no harm, it is our policy to safeguard all individuals involved in Trócaire’s work against risks of exploitation, abuse and harassment. Trócaire has zero tolerance to exploitative or abusive behaviour by anyone associated with the implementation of Trócaire’s work and highlights this as a core commitment in the organisations’ Accountability Framework.
