Safeguarding (or SEAH) risk assessment and management tool in emergencies

Before, during and after a humanitarian disaster, such as a conflict, a natural disaster or a pandemic, there can be a lot of change, stress and confusion for all involved. In such settings, every civil society organisation (CSO) can face a broad range of risks of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Sexual harassment (SEAH) and other harms and abuses. This detailed risk assessment was written for organisations working in different emergencies to help them identify and manage the safeguarding risks that they face.

There are two parts to this tool:

1. a guidance note (PDF document)
2. and an accompanying risk register (Excel document).
