Investors, businesses and development finance institutions are increasingly expected to identify, prevent and respond to complex social risks across their operations, supply chains and investments. These risks can include gender-based violence and harassment, sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH), child safeguarding concerns, discrimination, workplace misconduct and wider risks to communities and vulnerable groups.
Social Development Direct helps organisations strengthen systems, manage risk and create safer, more inclusive workplaces and programmes. We combine deep safeguarding expertise with practical experience supporting development finance institutions, investors and private sector partners to embed effective social risk management throughout the investment lifecycle.
Our support includes risk assessments, policy and framework development, due diligence, training and capacity strengthening, investigations, grievance mechanisms, organisational culture change, and technical advisory services
