The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) takes a zero-tolerance approach to any form of bullying, harassment, physical, emotional or sexual abuse or sexual exploitation, and strive to ensure the same in all of our work with vulnerable adults in the global communities where IHRB operates.
We are committed to ensuring that anyone working or associated with IHRB in any capacity does not harm, abuse or exploit any at risk child or adult, and acts upon any such allegation or incident to ensure the minimum risk to vulnerable people within IHRB’s scope.
Safeguarding is integrated into IHRB's relevant policies, and these commitments are outlined fully in our Safeguarding Policy. A copy of this policy is available on request by emailing [email protected].
We treat all safeguarding related concerns as an urgent priority. You can email us on: [email protected]
Or you can submit a safeguarding related concern anonymously via the online form below. Emails to this account or submissions via the form will be forwarded immediately to our Safeguarding Leads Vanessa Bissessur, Chief Operating Officer, and Julia Batho, Deputy Chief Executive.
What not to report
Please note that this is not intended as a mechanism to raise complaints or grievances about general safeguarding issues in the world of human rights and business that are not directly connected to IHRB as an organisation. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources or expertise to take on specific/ individual cases or give advice to people who want to report human rights violations. In order to ensure we are able to respond urgently to safeguarding concerns, we politely request that general enquiries related to safeguarding or broader human rights issues be be sent via the general contact form https://www.ihrb.org/
