Our commitment to protect
Medair is committed to the protection of all beneficiaries, volunteers, staff, and partners in line with Medair's core values - faith, accountability, hope, integrity, compassion and dignity - and particularly to the protection of children. Therefore, we do not employ staff whose background we understand to be unsuitable for working with children. Medair staff are required to give the utmost respect to, and to comply with, Medair's accountability polices and best practices for the duration of their contract - during work hours outside of working hours.
COVID Vaccination for staff
It is our organisational responsibility to take measures which minimise the possibility of Medair representatives being a channel of risk to the vulnerable populations we serve. Therefore, with effect from 1st November 2021, all new deploying international staff to Medair’s country programmes (and other roles which require field travel) should be fully vaccinated with a WHO-approved COVID vaccine, supported with a COVID vaccination certificate as evidence. Anyone who is partially vaccinated is encouraged to become fully vaccinated as soon as is practically possible.
