Follow-up Phase

When participants take part in international projects they can have life changing experiences that they will hopefully benefit from. The follow up to international projects can involve a range of activities to capture the learning, share the impact, and debrief the participants. Where participants are included in the follow up phase of a project, the principles of good safeguarding practice continue to apply.

This table outlines relevant safeguarding principles when supporting participants through this phase.

Invest time in a debriefing process Follow up on any concerns that arise from the debriefing Manage the data and records from the project in line with relevant policy

Support the participants to explore follow up projects Support the participants to implement the learning they gained from the project Maintain good practice, including ratios and gender balance among participants

Ensure data protection standards are not compromised when sharing outcomes in the media Capture the learning from the experience to enhance practice for future projects Maximise the impact that the project has delivered
