Equity & Justice

Ensuring fair treatment, access, and opportunities for all while removing barriers to participation.

“The organisations most vulnerable to safeguarding and human rights failure are not always those with the weakest policies; they are often those whose policies work well for dominant groups and invisibly exclude everyone else.”

Equity Audit of Systems

Independent assessment of your framework through an equity lens; examining who the system works for, who it fails, and where structural barriers to access and fair treatment are embedded in policy, procedure, and practice.

→ Mapping of marginalised and at-risk groups within your operational context

→ Analysis of reporting pathway accessibility across language, literacy, disability, and cultural barriers

→ Review of investigation and decision-making processes for consistency and fairness

→ Assessment of remedy and support mechanisms against rights-based standards

→ Written findings and equity-focused action plan

Rights-Based Policy and Procedure Design

Development or review of policies and procedures grounded in international human rights standards; ensuring that the rights of individuals are the organising principle of the system, not an add-on to an existing compliance framework.

→ Human rights impact assessment of existing policies

→ Co-design of rights-based reporting and response procedures

→ Integration of UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and CRPD standards

→ Procedural fairness frameworks for investigations and disciplinary processes

→ Accessible formats and plain language versions for all key materials

Fair Process

Training and advisory support for organisations on conducting investigations that are procedurally fair; protecting both the rights of those who report harm and those who are the subject of concern, while maintaining the primacy of survivor welfare.

→ Natural justice and due process frameworks for investigations

→ Training on fair and trauma-informed investigation practice

→ Independent review of investigation processes for procedural integrity

→ Advisory support on complex, contested, or multi-party cases
