Key Policies
and Procedures
At CHIPS, integrity is one of our core values. This means we are committed to upholding best practice for charities working with vulnerable people, fostering a safe, inclusive, and uplifting environment for our staff and volunteers, and being accountable to the communities we support. We strive to do this both in the UK and throughout the rest of the world in the countries we're invited to. As part of this commitment, we have developed policies that guide our work and ensure transparency, responsibility, and care in everything we do. You can explore our key policies below.
