<p>Her Majesty's Government (HMG) is not aware of reported attacks on civilians by
the White Helmets. While all allegations of human rights abuses are treated seriously,
HMG notes that the Syrian regime and Russia sought to discredit Syria Civil Defence
(SCD) through a concerted disinformation campaign. HMG remains steadfast in our support
to the 3100 women and men of Syria Civil Defence who continue to risk their lives
to save lives and make their communities more resilient.</p><p>HMG monitors the work
of SCD through frequent contact with our implementing partner and receives regular
reporting including specific incident reports, weekly reports, and quarterly project
reports. The activities of SCD are also monitored and evaluated by our implementing
partner; through independent audits; and through third party monitoring. These reports
and continuing monitoring contribute to HMG's work to ensure due diligence, evaluation
and accountability for project delivery.</p>
