Safeguarding vulnerable people policy

Our policy

The Donkey Sanctuary acknowledges that some areas of its work present a higher level of safeguarding risk than others. These include our Donkey Facilitated Learning activities; our international work with sometimes marginalised and vulnerable communities; our welfare activities and our fundraising with donors who are sometimes vulnerable.

The Donkey Sanctuary is committed to actively safeguarding vulnerable people who come into contact with our services and those provided by our implementing partners. The Donkey Sanctuary will not tolerate the abuse of vulnerable persons. Staff and volunteers will ensure that their work reflects the principles highlighted in our policy. The Donkey Sanctuary will be transparent and accountable in delivering safeguarding actions.
