Principle | Description |
Beneficiaries first | The interests of their beneficiaries and the causes they work for should be at the heart of everything charities and those who work and volunteer in and with them do. |
Integrity | Charities and those who work and volunteer in and with them should uphold the highest level of institutional integrity and personal conduct at all times. |
Openness | Charities should create a culture and space where donors and supporters, as well as the wider public, can see and understand how they work, how they deal with problems when they arise and how they spend their funds. |
Right to be safe | Every person who volunteers with, works for or comes into contact with a charity should be treated with dignity and respect, and feel that they are in a safe and supportive environment. All charities have a responsibility to create an inclusive culture that does not tolerate inappropriate, discriminatory, offensive or harmful behaviour towards any person who works for, volunteers with, or comes into contact with the charity. Charities should also be places where people’s wellbeing and mental health are valued and promoted, so that anyone |
working in the charity or coming into contact with the charity is encouraged to value and invest in their own health and wellbeing. |
