We work in the public interest by providing information, campaigning on service failures and systemic problems, supporting public awareness, and helping people identify appropriate official or specialist routes when they need them.
Public trust matters. That is why we publish clear policies covering governance, safeguarding, privacy, finance, campaigning, digital systems, Volunteers, complaints and accountability.
What Our Policies Are Designed to Protect
- children and adults at risk;
- families and members of the public;
- Volunteers, Campaigners and Campaign Leaders;
- Public Members and subscribers;
- donors, supporters and partners;
- personal information and digital systems;
- RFTUK funds and resources;
- the independence and integrity of our campaigns;
- public trust and organisational accountability.
Important: What RFTUK Is — and Is Not
RFTUK is an independent public-interest organisation. We are not a law firm, regulated legal-advice service, government body, police force, court, tribunal, regulator, emergency service or statutory safeguarding authority.
We provide general information, research, awareness material, campaign resources and signposting. Where specialist advice or urgent intervention is needed, people should use the appropriate regulated, official or emergency route.
RFTUK is not currently presented as a charity and does not claim Gift Aid or charitable-fund status unless its legal status changes and it becomes entitled to do so.

How to Read These Figures
The gross figure is the total of recorded invoice costs; the net amount excludes VAT shown on those invoices. The VAT shown (£18.49) is not a claim that this VAT is reclaimable. The £0.00 VAT potential/confirmed and Corporation Tax review columns are current recorded review figures, not formal determinations of tax entitlement or liability.
Some costs relate to establishing the organisation and may have been incurred before incorporation or paid personally while the business account is pending. Inclusion here does not by itself establish that the company has paid or reimbursed them; the accounting treatment will be checked against supporting records.
As new invoices, income and financial records become available, we aim to update this section. This public summary does not replace company accounting records or statutory reporting.

Good governance is not only about having documents. It is about using clear rules when decisions are difficult, protecting people when risks arise, keeping accurate records, managing money responsibly, correcting mistakes and giving people a route to challenge us.
Our policies are standards against which our own conduct can be measured.
Our Promise
Fairness
We aim to treat people consistently and listen to evidence before reaching conclusions.
Transparency
We publish clear policies and explain our role, funding and organisational boundaries.
Accountability
We accept that RFTUK can be challenged, complained about and asked to correct mistakes.
Safeguarding
Safety comes before publicity, campaigning or organisational convenience.
Independence
No donor, sponsor, partner or political organisation can buy RFTUK's findings or conclusions.
Public Protection
Our information, systems and decisions should be designed to reduce avoidable harm rather than create it.
