This pocket guide has been developed to support CSOs in Bangladesh to safeguard people with disabilities. It is a contextualised version of a global guidance note on disability-inclusive safeguarding practices. The guide may be useful for all staff, especially those working in programmes, monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), proposal/business development and community engagement. An accompanying guide has also been developed that focuses on disability-inclusive safeguarding in the workplace for CSOs in the development and humanitarian sector, which is available here.
The pocket guide is split into three sections:
-
Overview of the country context.
-
Risks of harm, including sexual exploitation and abuse, that people with disabilities face in programmes.
-
Managing the risks identified and how to make your safeguarding measures disability inclusive.
