This document contains a set of scenario-based questions for HR recruitment interviews
The purpose of these questions is to help recruiters be more discerning with their selection of job candidates and these questions should help interviewees see beyond the usual standard responses by digging much deeper into attitudes, values, and competencies of candidates in this case particularly around SEAH. The guiding questions here are meant to complement good recruitment practices; PSEAH (prevention of sexual abuse, exploitation, and harassment) and thorough
safeguarding practice.

In faith-based organizations (FBOs), these organizational values are often influenced by faith principles. This case study examines and highlights how organizational values within FBOs influence their safeguarding activities and approach. Five InterAction Member organizations participated in this case study: World Vision United States, Islamic Relief USA, Habitat for Humanity International, Food for the Hungry, and Episcopal Relief and Development. Each organization has a unique affiliation with its respective faith and uses this affiliation in creative ways when approaching safeguarding programming.

This workshop guide equips PSHEA and Safeguarding, and Gender equality focal points in CARE country offices with activities to design, deliver, monitor and evaluate awareness raising and training workshops with the purpose of:

reflection and dialogue on the links between inequitable masculinities, power and Sexual Harassment
Exploitation and Abuse (SHEA) in the workplace and in CARE’s programs
contributing to changes in staff attitudes and behavior in support of gender equality, diversity and inclusion for
all, including sexual and gender minorities
building understanding and awareness to ensure that CARE’s workplaces and programmatic interventions are
free from SHEA
strengthening women’s leadership within CARE.

This toolkit has three parts:

Part one: deals with key themes related to organizational culture such as gender, patriarchy, masculinity, and PSHEA/Safeguarding.

Part two: focuses specifically on masculinity and mens role in nurturing a safe organizational culture and work environment.

Part three: focuses specifically on resources, management, and leadership.
