Safeguarding Fundraisers: What the New Code Requires

Fundraisers are on the frontline of relationships with donors and the public, yet some historical safeguarding conversations have often focussed less on those actually doing the fundraising.

The refreshed Code of Fundraising Practice places greater emphasis on organisations taking steps to protect fundraisers, but what does that look like in real life, particularly in public-facing settings like telephone and face-to-face fundraising?

In this panel discussion, we’ll explore how the Donor Code of Conduct can help shape clearer expectations of behaviour and support wider conversations about safeguarding fundraisers across the sector.

Key discussion points:

• Why safeguarding fundraisers matters in public-facing fundraising
• What the Code of Fundraising Practice expects of organisations
• How the Donor Code of Conduct contributes to the conversation
