Controls and safeguards
Children attending family roles remain under the approved supervision model.
Do not use beneficiaries as photo backdrops or disclose sensitive site details.
HIGH — group-site safety, family participation, weather and beneficiary privacy require a task-specific event plan.
What to measure
Partner output completed and accepted.
Follow-up: Finish defects and return borrowed items within two days; share impact only after partner approval and offer one opt-in next service date.
