Codes & Policies
We are committed to implementing sector best practices to ensure that our processes, and work are robust. As a result we have adopted a number of codes and practices. We have achieved the “triple-lock” of good governance and reporting standards as set down by the Charities Institute of Ireland (Cii). We adhere to the Principles of Good Governance under the national Governance Code for the Community, Voluntary and Charitable (CVC) sector. We are fully committed to the safeguarding and protection of children, and our Safeguarding Policy ensures that every child Misean Cara comes into contact with either directly or indirectly through the work of our member organisations that we fund, will be treated with respect and dignity, and will be protected from harm, neglect or abuse. We have signed the Dóchas Safeguarding Code and the Code of Conduct for Non-Governmental Development Organisations on Images and Messages.
