<p>Her Majesty's Government (HMG) monitors the work of the Syria Civil Defence (SCD)
through frequent contact with our implementing partner. We receive 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><p>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 have sought to discredit
Syria Civil Defence 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 others.</p>
