This policy follows on directly from the Terre des hommes’ Global Code of Conduct (GCoC), which sets out the importance of and requirements for the good conduct of staff and establishes a systematic obligation to report any behaviour that contravenes it. Any form of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) of our beneficiaries and the communities in which we work is a profound betrayal of Tdh's fundamental values, as well as of our mandate to protect vulnerable populations. All our employees, including consultants and partners, are therefore required, without exception, to take all the necessary measures and undertake high levels of due diligence to prevent and manage any suspected or proven case of SEA.
