	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2019 answer text <p>The Withdrawal Agreement ensures that UK based organisations will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia and otherwise implement as normal EU development programmes that are approved before December 2020 until they complete. Furthermore, we are clear that any future UK financial contribution to the EU would require eligibility for UK entities to bid for and implement programmes where the UK funds. We regularly consult NGOs regarding their concerns to ensure we can support our world-class development sector. I therefore urge the Hon. Gentleman to support the Withdrawal Agreement.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 20/05/2019 16:07:24 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2018 answer text <p>It is imperative that DFID’s partners show the moral leadership, systems and culture that are needed to protect vulnerable people. At the Safeguarding Summit, the Secretary of State announced new, enhanced and specific safeguarding Due Diligence standards for all organisations that DFID works with. This will include a review of the ethical practice of the NGOs that DFID partner, by assessing codes of conduct, how organisations identify and respond to incidents, and how risk management places safeguarding and beneficiaries at its core. These are being piloted from this week and will be rolled out shortly. New funds to organisations will not be approved unless they pass the new standards and they will be integrated into ongoing programme management.</p><p> </p><p>Four working groups, that include civil society and independent experts, have also been established and are meeting this week to refine and test ideas further. They will take forward a number of areas, including how the aid sector can shift its organisational culture to tackle power imbalances and gender inequality. The groups will report back with concrete actions in time for the international Safeguarding Conference that the UK will host this autumn.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 23/03/2018 14:54:11 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

Both parties have recognised the importance of such a period in the interests of providing certainty and continuity to businesses and individuals.
