SCORING RUBRIC - Safeguarding Procedures
Score each dimension 1-5 using these criteria:

DIMENSION 1: Training Requirements
- Score 5: All four elements present. Training requirements for all personnel involved in data collection, analysis, and supervision are specified. The content of required training is named (safeguarding fundamentals, PSEA, child protection where applicable, organizational code of conduct). The frequency is specified (pre-deployment, refresher intervals). Verification of training completion is required and documented (sign-off, certificates, organizational records).
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Training required and content named; frequency or verification partial.
- Score 3: Training required as a general statement. Content, frequency, or verification not specified.
- Score 2: Training mentioned in passing. No content, frequency, or verification specifics.
- Score 1: No training requirements.

DIMENSION 2: Reporting Channels
- Score 5: All four elements present. Confidential reporting channels are specified by name (named focal persons with contact details, hotline numbers, organizational reporting platforms). Anonymous reporting options are available. Channels are accessible to participants regardless of literacy (verbal options, local-language options), language, or power position (channels that bypass local supervisors). Channels are communicated to participants at the point of consent and posted in field locations.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Reporting channels named and accessible; anonymous options or communication partial.
- Score 3: Reporting channels named but accessibility for low-literacy or non-dominant-language participants unclear. Anonymous option absent.
- Score 2: Generic mention of reporting (for example, "report to the team leader"). No anonymous option. No accessibility considerations.
- Score 1: No reporting channels specified.

DIMENSION 3: Escalation Chain
- Score 5: All four elements present. The escalation chain from incident report to investigation to action is specified step by step. Timeframes are stated at each step (for example, initial response within 24 hours, investigation initiated within 5 working days). Decision-makers at each step are named by role. Oversight roles (independent reviewer, safeguarding committee, donor notification) are specified for serious incidents.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Escalation chain specified and decision-makers named; timeframes or oversight roles partial.
- Score 3: Escalation chain described in general terms. Some timeframes or decision-makers named but not consistently. Oversight unclear.
- Score 2: Escalation mentioned but not specified. Decision-makers and timeframes absent.
- Score 1: No escalation chain.

DIMENSION 4: Response Protocol
- Score 5: All four elements present. Response protocols are specified per incident type (PSEA, child protection, participant distress, fraud, data breach). Referral to external services (medical, psychological, legal, child welfare) is specified with named providers or referral pathway. Personnel response (suspension, removal, investigation) is specified per incident severity. Participant support (follow-up, additional referrals, withdrawal options) is specified.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Response protocols specified per incident type; one of referral, personnel response, or participant support partial.
- Score 3: Generic response protocol covering all incident types. Some specifics for the most severe incidents but not differentiated.
- Score 2: Response language is a catch-all clause. No incident-type differentiation. No named referrals.
- Score 1: No response protocol.

DIMENSION 5: Audit Trail
- Score 5: All four elements present. Documentation requirements for each incident are specified (incident form, investigation notes, decision record, action log). The role responsible for documentation is named. Storage location and access controls are specified (who can read, who can edit, encryption requirements). Retention period and final disposal are specified.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Documentation and responsible role specified; storage controls or retention partial.
- Score 3: Documentation required but specifics on what is recorded, by whom, where, and for how long are thin.
- Score 2: Documentation mentioned as a general expectation. No specifics.
- Score 1: No audit trail requirements.
