Policies

Our policy page.

Every policy here is reviewed at least once a year, and safeguarding more often than that. If you can't find what you're after, email contact@cease.org.uk and we'll send it over.

Section 01

Looking after people.

Reporting a concern

A short, plain guide to telling us something's wrong, what we'll do next, and who'll see it.

Research Ethics and Consent Policy

We interview survivors, young people and professionals as part of our research. This sets out how we take consent, how we handle what people tell us, and how somebody can withdraw at any point.

Cookie Policy

What gets set on your device when you visit, what each one does, and how to turn off the optional ones.

Section 03

Money.

Donation Acceptance and Refusal Policy

We don't take money from the sex industry, and we don't take money that comes with conditions attached to what our research is allowed to say. This is the policy that says so, and what we do when an offer isn't clear cut.

Our Fundraising Promise

We're registered with the Fundraising Regulator and we follow the Code of Fundraising Practice. This is what that means in practice, and what to do if we fall short of it.

Annual Report and Accounts

Filed with the Charity Commission every year, and published here.

Section 04

Campaigning.

Campaigning and Political Activity Policy

We brief MPs, run petitions and ask people to write to their representatives. This sets out how we do that within the rules for charities, how we stay independent of any political party, and who signs off campaign material before it goes out.
