<p>Her Majesty's Government monitors the work of the Syria Civil Defence (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><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 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 lives
and make their communities more resilient.</p>
