Risk Management

Our work is conducted in volatile and shifting contexts - and we can’t always control everything around us. That’s why we employ a risk management procedure that helps us both respond quickly and identify risks in advance.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it unprecedented security threats, exacerbating existing crises in all corners of the globe. Learn more about the security challenges we faced and the steps we took to de-escalate in the dedicated section of this report.

War Child is also exposed to several financial risks - risks that have the power to greatly damage our reputation. A system of internal controls is in place and outlined in our Finance and Accounting Policy and Fundraising Complaints Policy on our website. You can find a full overview of our fundraising sources and related complaints here.
