<p>DFID has introduced enhanced due diligence standards related to sexual abuse, exploitation
and harassment for organisations we fund. The standards cover partner policies and
processes on safeguarding, human resources, whistleblowing, risk management, codes
of conduct and governance.</p><p> </p><p>We are working closely with governments,
charities, independent experts, suppliers and affected individuals in this country
and the countries where we work to identify which further reforms will make the most
difference in preventing sexual abuse and exploitation and improving the response
when it does occur. We will bring representatives of these groups together at an international
conference in London on the 18<sup>th</sup> October to agree a package to deliver
lasting change across all aid agencies and the whole sector.</p>
