Charity regulators across the UK have established safeguarding as a governance and operational priority. As charities in their own right, foundations must prioritise safeguarding within their own internal practices even where they have limited contact with children and vulnerable adults.

By integrating safeguarding in their overall approach to funding, foundations can also play a critical role in promoting practices and organisational cultures which keep people safe.

This safeguarding framework for foundations updates the one first developed by ACF in 2018. The revised framework incorporates new regulatory guidance from across the UK and research conducted by FSC with foundations to identify positive funder safeguarding practices.
