To this end, Concern Worldwide gained accreditation from the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) during 2010. The organisation has designed an accountability framework which is a summary of the relevant internal and external standards, codes, guidelines, values and principles to which it is committed. We work with partners at different levels including community organisations, local government institutions, national level institutions, and international agencies. In responding to emergencies, we are guided by international codes of conduct and practice, including the Code of Conduct of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NonGovernmental Organisations in Disaster Relief. The Trustees have complied with their duty to note and pay due regard to public beneļ¬t guidance published by the Charities Commission.
