Glossary
Abuse
Abuse may include, but is not exclusive to: physical abuse or injury; emotional abuse; sexual abuse and exploitation (all forms of sexual activity, including rape, incest, pornography); neglect (where basic needs such as food and medical care are not met, or when there is a failure to protect a person from exposure to any kind of danger); sexual harassment (unwanted behaviour of a sexual nature that violates dignity, intimidates, degrades or humiliates, or creates a hostile environment); and bullying
Accessibility
Removing barriers faced by individuals with a variety of disabilities (including, but not limited to: physical, sensory, cognitive, learning, mental health) and the various barriers (including attitudinal and systemic) that impede an individual’s ability to participate in social, cultural, political, and economic life. Disabilities can be temporary or permanent, visible or hidden.
Adult at risk
Sometimes referred to as a vulnerable adult, an adult at risks is a person over the age of 18 who is or may be in need of care by reason of mental, or other disability, age or illness; and who is or may be unable to take care of him or herself, or unable to protect him or herself against significant harm or exploitative. Adults at risk include marginalised populations.
Child
A person below the age of eighteen years[1].
Child protection
Child protection seeks to guarantee the right of all children to a life free from violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect. There are many actors engaged in child protection, including children and youth, parents/guardians, families/clans communities, traditional authorities, government, civil society and private organisations.
Discrimination The denial of rights or access to services based on an individual or group’s identity (e.g. racial, gender, disability, economic, social, tribal, religious, sexual, geographical, physical, psychological etc).
Do No Harm
Being aware of how programme activities might interact with existing political, social, cultural, geographical and economic dynamics, with a view to ensuring activities do not cause or exacerbate negative systems or trends. Do No Harm recognises that development interventions do not occur in a vacuum, and are rarely neutral, and thus always have the potential to cause harm.
Exploitation
The action or fact of treating an individual or group unfairly to benefit from their work. Exploitation can be conscious or unconscious, for collective or individual gain. Exploitation commonly involves groups or individuals that are vulnerable or socially excluded marginalised being taken advantage of by more powerful counterparts
Gender Equality The absence of discrimination on the basis of gender in opportunities, the allocation of resources or benefits, or access to services on the basis of gender. It is the full and equal exercise by men and women, girls and boys of their human rights.5 In this situation: women and men, girls and boys have equal rights and equal access to socially and economically valued goods, resources, opportunities and benefits; different gender roles are valued equally and do not constitute an obstacle to wellbeing and, finally, where the fulfilment of potential of men and women, girls and boys as responsible members of society is possible.
Human Rights
Universal legal guarantees protecting individuals and groups against actions and omissions that interfere with fundamental freedoms, entitlements and human dignity. Human rights law obliges Governments (principally) and other duty-bearers to do certain things that protect and promote the universal rights of persons and prevents them from doing others that infringe on those rights
Oppression
Abuse of power by one group, individual, system or regime over another, violating the rights and liberties of others.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding shapes the organisation’s approach, practice and culture to ensuring a comprehensively safe environment for all people with whom the organisation engages. It is designed to guard all those (including third parties) who are associated with an intervention, project or organisation from all forms of exploitation and abuse, including physical, mental, sexual, emotional or economic.
Social exclusion
A process by which certain groups are systematically disadvantaged. Exclusion can involve the lack and/or denial of resources, rights, goods and services, and the inability to participate in the normal relationships and activities available to the majority of people in society.
Social Inclusion The removal of institutional barriers and the enhancement of incentives to increase the access of diverse individual and groups to development opportunities. These barriers may be formal (written laws on spousal property, for instance), or they may be informal (e.g. time village girls spent carrying water instead of attending school). In short social inclusion is about evening the playing field by making the ‘rules of the game’8 fairer9 , while incentivising for change.
Vulnerability A person or group of people who, due to one or multiple factors, is/are at particular risk of exploitation, abuse, marginalisation or exclusion. Contributors to vulnerability might include (but are not limited to) age, gender, disability ethnicity, religion, ability, economic status, social status.
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
Community Action Ghana
Community Action Ghana was established in 2022 by Heather Adrian and Alyrene Rosser to help alleviate problems in communities in the Volta region of Ghana. Specifically to help eliminate open defecation by providing the materials and expertise to build community toilet blocks, to provide library facilities and where possible to provide sources of clean water. The Communities’ priorities are our priorities.
Purpose of the safeguarding and childcare policy
The Community Action Ghana’s Safeguarding and child care Policy sets out measures to prevent and respond to instances of abuse and harm that might be occurring as a result of Community Action Ghana’s work. It includes common rules, regulations and principles, and a strategy for ensuring these commitments are meaningfully applied. The policy has been developed in line with Community Action Ghana’’s definition of safeguarding, which states that “safeguarding shapes the organisation’s approach, practice and culture to ensuring a comprehensively safe environment for all people with whom the organisation engages”, and is informed by relevant international and national policies, legislation and best practice approaches (see section on Underlying Principles).
Scope of the policy This Safeguarding Policy is intended to inform all Community Action Ghana’’s activities, and the actions and behaviour of all associated with Community Action Ghana’ – including staff, partners, representatives, beneficiaries, third parties and the communities Community Action Ghana’ engages. As such, the key audiences (or, indeed, ‘owners’) for this strategy are Community Action Ghana’’s Trustees, and Community Action Ghana’’s partners and representatives. It is the collective responsibility of these stakeholders to put the strategy into practice – as an active document, to prevent and report on any physical, economic, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect of any actor within Community Action Ghana’’s community engagement. All those that are engaged, commissioned or contracted to work with or on behalf of Community Action Ghana’ will need to have a clear understanding of the required standards set out in this policy, and what to do if they have any concerns.
Policy statement
Community Action Ghana — Child Care & Safeguarding Policy
Approved by: Trustees of Community Action Ghana
Version: 1.0
Date: 1 October 2025
Next review: 1 October 2026
1. Purpose
Community Action Ghana is committed to protecting the welfare of all children and young people who take part in, or are affected by, our work. This policy sets out Community Action Ghana’’s safeguarding standards, roles, responsibilities and procedures to prevent harm, to respond quickly and appropriately to concerns, and to meet our legal obligations in Ghana and best-practice guidance from the UK. This policy applies to all staff, volunteers, trustees, partners and contractors engaged by Community Action Ghana’.
(Organisation reference: Community Action Ghana’’s safeguarding framework published on the organisation website.) communityactionghana.org
2. Legal & Policy Framework
Community Action Ghana’ bases this policy on national law in Ghana and established UK safeguarding practice and data-protection standards, namely:
- The Children’s Act, 1998 (Act 560) — rights of the child, welfare principle and legal duties relevant to child protection in Ghana. rodra.co.za+1
- UK safeguarding guidance (used as best practice and to inform organisational systems): Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) and Keeping Children Safe in Education (latest guidance). These documents inform safer recruitment, designated safeguarding responsibilities, multi-agency working and child protection record keeping. GOV.UK+1
- UK criminal-record checking and regulated-activity guidance (Disclosure & Barring Service scope) where relevant for UK-based checks on staff/volunteers or UK trustee oversight. GOV.UK+1
- UK data protection guidance for children (ICO guidance on children and the UK GDPR); C.A.G. will apply the same principles to processing children’s personal data in project activity. ICO
3. Scope
This policy covers:
- All children and young people under 18 who engage with Community Action Ghana’ activities in Ghana or activities run by Community Action Ghana’ trustees, volunteers or partners overseas.
- All staff (paid/unpaid), volunteers, trustees, consultants, contractors and partner organisations acting on behalf of Community Action Ghana’.
4. Key definitions
- Child/Young Person: Anyone under 18 years (per Ghana Children’s Act). rodra.co.za
- Safeguarding: Protecting children from maltreatment, preventing impairment of health or development, ensuring safety and taking action to enable best outcomes (working-together definitions). GOV.UK
- Child protection: Activities focused on responding to actual abuse or neglect.
5. Principles
- The welfare and best interests of the child are paramount. (Children’s Act – welfare principle). rodra.co.za
- Zero tolerance of abuse, exploitation or neglect.
- Confidentiality will be respected but not where it would place a child at risk — safeguarding concerns will be shared on a strict need-to-know basis and in line with data-protection/safeguarding legal exceptions. GOV.UK+1
- Prompt, proportionate, documented and transparent action on concerns; protection takes precedence over organisational reputation. GOV.UK
6. Roles & Responsibilities
- Board of Trustees: ultimate accountability for safeguarding; ensure policy, resources, and annual review. (Charity governance expectations). Charity Register
- Executive Lead / Country Lead (Ghana): operational lead for child safeguarding in Ghana; ensures policy implementation, staff supervision and liaison with Ghanaian authorities. communityactionghana.org
- Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL): named person responsible for managing reports, referrals and record-keeping; responsible for staff training and liaison with statutory agencies in Ghana (and UK where relevant). The DSL must be trained to a level appropriate to the role (see Section 9). GOV.UK
- All staff & volunteers: must read and follow this policy, attend required training, and report concerns immediately.
7. Safer Recruitment & Selection
Community Action Ghana’follows safer recruitment practices proportionate to the role:
- Obtain written references, identity checks, local qualification checks and documented interview notes for staff and volunteers. GOV.UK
- For UK-based roles or trustees who will work unsupervised with children or manage services from the UK, obtain an enhanced DBS check or equivalent when eligibility/regulated-activity rules apply. If staff or volunteers will be in regulated activity with children, Community Action Ghana’ will follow DBS guidance on obtaining enhanced checks and the duty to refer where appropriate. GOV.UK+1
- For Ghana-based staff and volunteers, Community Action Ghana’ will carry out locally appropriate background checks, police/clearance checks where available, and verify references in writing. Where Ghanaian statutory checks are limited, Community Action Ghana’ will add additional safeguards (e.g., probation periods, supervised contact, extra references). rodra.co.za
8. Code of Conduct & Boundaries
All personnel must:
- Treat children with respect and dignity; avoid physical punishment. (Children’s Act & safeguarding standards). rodra.co.za
- Never engage in sexual activity or sexualised behaviour with a child.
- Not be alone with a child in an isolated setting where practicable; where lone contact is unavoidable, ensure transparency and record the contact.
- Use appropriate language and behaviour; never humiliate, shame or threaten a child.
- Obtain informed consent for routine activities (photography, trips, medical treatment). (See Section 13).
- Follow reporting procedures for concerns or breaches (Section 11).
9. Training & Awareness
- All staff and regular volunteers will receive safeguarding induction on joining Community Action Ghana’and refresher training annually. DSL(s) will receive enhanced safeguarding training and multi-agency guidance appropriate to their role. This aligns with Working Together recommendations on training and designated safeguarding leads. GOV.UK
10. Supervision, Activities & Ratios
- Community Action Ghana’will risk-assess all activities involving children and set appropriate supervision levels. Where possible, two adults should be present for activities with children. For formal childcare settings, Community Action Ghana’ will adopt internationally-recognised guidance on staff-to-child ratios and local regulations — and will state ratios in activity-specific risk assessments. (Where local statutory ratios apply, those will be followed). rodra.co.za
11. Reporting Concerns & Allegations
Immediate action: If a child is in immediate danger, contact emergency services and the DSL immediately.
Reporting procedure:
- Any person who suspects abuse or neglect must report verbally to the DSL immediately, and follow up with a written report within 24 hours (use Community Action Ghana’Safeguarding Incident Form).
- The DSL will assess risk and, where appropriate, refer concerns to Ghanaian statutory child-protection services, police, or health services and will seek guidance on next steps. Decisions and rationales will be recorded. (This is consistent with the Children’s Act and the Working Together guidance on referrals and multi-agency working). rodra.co.za+1
- If the allegation concerns a staff member, volunteer or trustee, Community Action Ghana’ will take steps to remove them from unsupervised contact pending investigation and will follow disciplinary procedures while ensuring fair process and child safety. Where UK-based checks and referrals are relevant (e.g., barred-person referrals), Community Action Ghana’ will follow DBS referral duties. GOV.UK
Confidentiality & information sharing: Information will only be shared on a need-to-know basis. C.A.G. recognises lawful grounds in data-protection law for sharing safeguarding information without consent where necessary to protect a child. GOV.UK+1
12. Record Keeping
- All safeguarding records will be factual, dated, signed and stored securely with restricted access. Records will be kept for a minimum period required by law and organisational needs; sensitive safeguarding records will be kept separate from personnel files. This practice aligns with recommendations in Working Together and UK record-keeping guidance. GOV.UK
13. Parental Consent, Photography & Media
- Obtain consent for photographs, videos and for transporting children where Community Action Ghana’ arranges transport. Any use of images that might identify a child in vulnerable situations must be avoided. These measures follow ICO guidance on children’s data and privacy-by-design. ICO
14. Health, Medical Care & Medication
- For activities involving children, collect emergency contact details, allergies and medical needs before participation. Where medication is required, obtain written permission and follow safe storage and administration procedures; document any medication administered.
15. Transport, Trips & Overnight Stays
- All trips must be risk-assessed and approved in advance. Parental consent and emergency contact details are required. An appropriate ratio of adults to children must be maintained, and at least one adult on each trip must be DBS-checked or have completed the relevant local safeguarding checks (or be supervised until cleared). Safeguarding responsibilities apply during transit and overnight stays. GOV.UK
16. Online Safety
- Community Action Ghana’ will take steps to keep children safe online during activities: limit direct 1:1 communications between staff and children, use platforms with safety controls, obtain parental consent for online activities, and train staff on online safeguarding. Data minimisation and child-appropriate privacy notices will be used where personal data is collected. (ICO guidance on children and online data applies). ICO
17. Complaints & Whistleblowing
- Community Action Ghana encourages reporting of concerns about staff, volunteers or trustees. Whistleblowers will be protected from reprisals. Complaints relating to child welfare will follow the safeguarding reporting route and the organisation’s complaints policy.
18. Working with Partners & Contractors
- Partners and contractors must follow Community Action Ghana’s safeguarding standards. Community Action Ghana will require partners to supply their safeguarding policy or sign Community Action Ghana’s safeguarding code of conduct where Community Action Ghana has operational control. For funded partners in Ghana, Community Action Ghana will assess local safeguarding arrangements and strengthen them where necessary.
19. Duty to Refer & Cooperation with Authorities
- Where legal thresholds are met, Community Action Ghanawill report to Ghanaian statutory authorities. For UK-based referrals (e.g., for trustees or staff who worked in the UK), Community Action Ghanawill comply with UK statutory referral and DBS reporting duties. rodra.co.za+1
20. Data Protection & Privacy
- Community Action Ghana will process children’s personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently and with special consideration of children’s rights under data-protection law; where processing is high risk (e.g., systematic collection of children’s data or publishing images), Community Action Ghana will complete a Data Protection Impact Assessment. The ICO guidance on children and the UK GDPR will inform our practice. ICO+1
21. Investigation, Disciplinary Action & Referral to Statutory Agencies
- Allegations about staff/volunteers will trigger an immediate risk assessment and may lead to suspension pending investigation. Community Action Ghana will follow fair disciplinary procedures; where criminal behaviour or regulatory breaches are suspected, report promptly to police and other statutory bodies. If the person is barred from working with children, Community Action Ghana must refer them to the relevant barring body (DBS in the UK context). GOV.UK
22. Monitoring, Review & Governance
- The Board will receive an annual safeguarding report and will review this policy at least annually or sooner if legal or operational changes require.
