Key questions on the scope and roles
The Safeguarding Action Plan aims to address key learnings of recent years, including those gained through our commissioning of the Independent Child Safeguarding Review. The plan approaches the broader challenge of achieving strong safeguarding.
The Independent Child Safeguarding Review (ICSR) was commissioned by the International Senate of SOS Children’s Villages to find ways to address the complex topic of child safeguarding failures. The report sets out consolidated findings and recommendations from four country reviews with the aim of contributing to improvements in safeguarding practice.
