- Question
-
What steps she is taking to protect aid projects following reports of sexual misconduct by Oxfam and other charity workers overseas.
- Answer
-
We have introduced new safeguarding standards for all DFID programmes. I have requested and received assurances from our partners on their safeguarding policies and procedures. Internationally, we are leading the charge to raise standards. I have ensured that Oxfam’s withdrawal from bidding for funding has not impacted on beneficiaries.
