As a member of Dóchas, we are signatories to The Dóchas Guide to Ethical Communications. This invaluable guide supports organisations seeking to implement best practice in ethical communications. It outlines key considerations and good practice for those working with imagery and messages in development and humanitarian settings. The guidelines are founded on three core values:
- Respect for the dignity of the people concerned
- Belief in the equality of all people
- Acceptance of the need to promote solidarity, fairness and justice
If you have any concerns about the images or messages used on our website or would like to provide feedback on any of our communications, please contact our Code Champion, Katie Martin, via email at katie@afri.ie.
The organisation’s feedback mechanism is the first point of contact for making a complaint
regarding the organisation’s adherence to the Guide. However, in the case where we fail to respond, or you are not satisfied with their response, you can also contact Dóchas by emailing comms@dochas.ie. For more information on this,please see the Complaints Mechanism on the Dóchas website at https://www.dochas.ie/complaints/.
