PHC SERVICE PROPOSAL

Project: Safeguarding Systems Initiative

Starter Pack (6 months) for Humanitarian Project

Dear Sir or Madam,

Many child protection projects do not fail because the cause is weak; they fail because safeguarding systems, records, referral pathways and reporting are not strong enough to carry the seriousness of the mission. The result can be dangerous: unclear escalation, weak confidentiality, avoidable admin overload, poor evidence and late reporting to funders.

We are therefore seeking sponsorship for a time-bound, staged Governance & Transparency Starter Pack for P503 - Safeguarding Systems Initiative. This is best understood as a de-risking instrument, not a traditional programme grant: it gives funders visibility, donor-ready reporting, safeguarding discipline and a clear stop/continue decision point, while enabling Save the Child Diamond Foundation to focus on protecting children.

Project focus (the local delivery need)

The project focuses on urgent, practical needs that protect health and dignity, including:

What we are asking you to sponsor (the governance-first solution)

We are seeking sponsorship for a 6-month PHC Starter Pack, delivered by Order Efficiency Ltd at a humanitarian rate (PHC consultancy delivered at 10% of standard commercial cost). Total required funding is approximately Β£9,000. Includes PHC Consultant cost, starter equipment allowance, training and limited local leadership/project support during the 6-month term. It excludes full Human Rights Kiosk deployment, specialist counselling budgets, legal case costs, major school infrastructure and full 17-LGA rollout funding.

The Starter Pack prevents the project being forced into slow, phone-based administrative burden and retroactive reporting. It provides reliable remote structure and support from an office-based delivery team.

In short: delivery stays the focus, while governance, tracking, reporting and stakeholder confidence are built in from day one.

What the sponsor receives

By sponsoring this Starter Pack, you receive:

  • Monthly donor-ready reporting
  • Clear visibility of costs, activities and outputs
  • Safeguarding risk control from the start
  • Evidence capture as a natural by-product of delivery
  • A clear stop/continue decision point each month
  • A practical foundation for 17-LGA scale-up funding

How the 6 months is structured (stage-gated on purpose)

Stage 1 β€” 7-Day Review (Go / No-Go): rapid viability + governance check producing an evidence-led snapshot (critical concerns, immediate actions, baseline plan, reporting format).
Stage 2 β€” Setup Phase (first ~2 months): implement PHC data structures and operating rhythm.
Stage 3 β€” Continuation Phase (renewable 3-month periods): day-to-day PHC Service work keeping SCALPED lists current, linking evidence, and providing reporting.

Why the Review exists (two reasons): (1) to enable fail-fast β€” if the project is going to fail, it should fail early, visibly and cheaply, preventing wasted funding; and (2) to provide stakeholders practical by-example assurance that PHC will be beneficial in ways that are often new to teams.

Sponsorship Options (staged risk, fund in slices)

Support can be provided as monthly tranches or stage funding aligned to outputs and reporting (whichever you prefer).

Option A β€” Fund the 7-Day Go/No-Go Review (Stage 1)

Purpose: confirm safeguarding readiness and create an evidence-led start plan

You receive: a Go / No-Go report, baseline Concerns/risk register, stakeholder map, draft safeguarding workflow and pilot budget structure

Option B β€” Fund the first 2 months (Setup Phase)

Purpose: establish operating rhythm, safeguarding controls, PHC tracking, reporting and pilot-school preparation

You receive: month 1–2 reports showing activity, roles, spend evidence, school engagement and safeguarded outputs

Option C β€” Fund the full 6-month Starter Pack (Setup & Continuation)

Purpose: complete the pilot setup and produce a funder-grade evidence pack for safe scale-up

You receive: monthly reporting, live Concerns/Actions tracking, safeguarding review, final evidence/learning pack and scale recommendations

(Any of these options can be funded as a standalone decision, or combined as a phased pathway.)

What the Starter Pack includes

Likely questions (answered upfront)

[+] β€œWhy fund governance/admin instead of direct child protection activity?”

Because safeguarding without governance can create new harm. The PHC setup makes disclosure, referral, confidentiality, reporting and evidence control safer from the start.

[+] β€œΒ£10k feels high for an early-stage safeguarding project.”

This is a 6-month starter governance package including PHC review, setup, reporting, equipment allowance, training structure and local leadership support. It is designed to make larger delivery funding safer and more credible.

[+] β€œWhat if the project is not ready to scale?”

That is exactly why the 7-Day Review exists. It identifies readiness gaps early, cheaply and visibly before larger commitments are made.

[+] β€œWhy external governance?”

Because PHC provides independent structure, risk visibility, donor-ready reporting and transfer of capability to the local team. The aim is not dependency; it is safe local capacity.

[+] β€œAre Human Rights Kiosks included in this cost?”

No. The starter pack can review and design the kiosk concept, but full kiosk procurement, installation, maintenance, security and data systems require separate costing.

Next step

If you are open to a short call, we would welcome 15–20 minutes to confirm:

  1. stage-gated vs full starter pack preference
  2. reporting cadence/format you prefer
  3. any restrictions you’d like applied (ring-fencing, branding, geography, safeguarding, governance interfaces, etc.)

Thank you for considering an approach that makes delivery credible, accountable, and reviewable β€” while keeping the delivery team focused on outcomes.
