our mission
We recognize the resiliency and strength of children, adults, impacted communities, our clients, and each other. Through our work, we endeavor to work with clients to reduce harm, abuse, exploitation, discrimination, and harassment that arise out of preventable abuses of power within organizations. We do this by delivering contextualized support to strengthen the culture of safety & protection, well-being, and multiculturalism while balancing the internal and external demands for compliance and risk management.
our values
We endeavor to provide a safe environment for our clients while delivering on our commitments with confidence and humility. We are driven by the constant evolution of our practice and the trust that our clients have placed in us to support them in this work. We understand that trust is “choosing to make something important to [our clients] vulnerable to the actions of [Safe Organizations]” and hold ourselves accountable to act in the best interests of our clients as they work to serve and support children, adults, communities, and their employees.
We fundamentally believe in education as a practice of moving from the superficial to the substantial while wrestling with accountability, trust, justice, and empowerment. Based upon the teachings of paideia and b-r-a-v-i-n-g, we engage in partnerships with our clients that promote connection, understanding, and mutual respect. We recognize the importance of radically calling into question our experiences and assumptions to broaden our understanding of the world around us and interrogate our safeguarding practices so that we may continuously learn and evolve to support organizations, businesses, and institutions to dismantle oppressive and exploitative approaches perpetuated by indifference, inefficiencies, power dynamics, and/or hierarchies.
