Partner Due Diligence Checklist

Before entering a significant partnership, the Foundation may check the partner’s legal name, trading name, company number, registered address, website, contact details, key decision makers, and relationship to the Foundation.

The Foundation may consider whether the partner’s activities, public reputation, values, products, services, and communication style align with a child-focused community organisation. Any reputational concern should be reviewed before proceeding.

Where a partner may interact with children, families, volunteers, goods, premises, data, or public events, the Foundation may require safeguarding expectations, insurance information, risk assessments, references, training evidence, or other assurance.

The Foundation may consider whether the partner appears financially and legally suitable, whether funds are from a legitimate source, whether conditions are appropriate, and whether there are conflicts of interest, sanctions, fraud, or unlawful activity concerns.

The Foundation should record the checks completed, any concerns identified, mitigation steps, approval decision, review date, and person responsible for the relationship.
