Employees training

Our employees come into contact with children, young people or vulnerable adults, they are confident in carrying out their responsibility of safeguarding, whether they're permanent member of staff or a volunteer. It is common practice now that our employees undertake safeguarding training to further help the vulnerable gain the knowledge and skills to confidently deal with safeguarding issues.

We all have a responsibility to help keep children safe. Working with children and young people means we must have safeguarding policies and procedures in place and be able to respond to child protection concerns.

Our ethics and compliance

TSSF works to the highest standards of integrity. We have a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of fraud, bribery and corruption.

Advice and guidance
The ethics office assists employees navigating complex situations where ethical decision making is key. We guide staff to describe their issue of concern, identify the rules and regulations that may apply, examine their options, and understand their potential consequence. Our aim is to empower to make their own ethical decisions, which do not harm themselves, the people we serve, or TSSF.

Standard setting and policy advocacy
Fostering a culture of ethics and accountability require frequent and consistent advocacy. The ethics office advocate for the incorporation of ethical standard into TSSF's organizational policies, practices and operations, which ultimately contributes to giving a voice to the voiceless. Protection from abuse conduct, prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, anti-fraud and anti-corruption, privacy data protection and confidentiality are just a few of the issues the ethics office provides a guidance on.

Protection against retaliation
At TSSF we are committed to providing safe and respectful work environment for all our employees. The whistle-blower protection policy is designed to give protection from retaliation to employees who wish to speak up against misconduct and wrongdoing. Retaliation means any action-recommended, threatened or taken that is meant to punish intimidate or injure the employee for engaging in a protected activity. It applies to both current and former employees. Regardless of their contract type or duration. If you believe you have been retaliated against reach out to us confidentially at support@tssf.org.ng

Training Education and Outreach
The first step in building and maintaining the culture of ethics is awareness. Knowledge and active internalization of values, standard and principles are essential components ensuring for compliance. To increase knowledge and skills on the integrity expected of all employees, the ethics office engages in regular training and outreach activities, as well as internal communication campaign.

Annual conflict of interest and financial disclosure program
There are times when employees may be faced with an incompatibility between their private interest, and their official duties. The annual Conflicts of Interest and Financial Disclosure Programme (CIFDP) aim to identify and address such conflicts of interest, through disclosure of assets, liabilities, investments and outside activities of certain categories of employees, it is a commitment to transparency and public confidence building.
