We are Plan International; we work with children and girls in over 80 countries to help create a world where we are all equal. We have zero tolerance for corruption, sexual harassment, abuse, discrimination and other forms of unethical or illegal behaviour.
We encourage anyone who witnesses or suspects such behaviour to raise their concern with us so we can take appropriate measures.
What should you raise a concern about?
We encourage anyone who witnesses or suspects unethical behaviour to raise a concern. This includes:
- Fraud, bribery and corruption
- Theft
- Children placed at risk and other safeguarding concerns
- Dishonesty
- Bullying
- Sexual harassment
What happens when you raise a concern?
When you raise a concern, your message will be dealt with as quickly as possible. It will be handled in accordance with our global policy on values, conduct and whistleblowing and our whistleblowing policy which detail the standards that we expect from everyone at Plan, and how we support our staff and stakeholders to speak up about unacceptable behaviour and wrongdoing.
After your concern has been received, we will follow up and provide feedback where appropriate, depending on the nature of the concern.
We commit to taking care of whistleblowers and anyone related to the concern raised. We have a particular responsibility to protect those who raise concerns and make sure they can do so without fear of retaliation or reprisals.
We ensure any concerns raised are handled in a fair, respectful and effective manner. Whistleblowers help us improve as an organisation and ensure we are accountable to our donors, staff members and the children, young people and programme participants we serve.

You can raise a concern with Plan’s Global Hub using the form at the bottom of the page and a specialist from our team will respond to your message.
We encourage anyone with a concern to contact us so we can handle cases as thoroughly as possible while ensuring the confidentiality of the whistleblower.
