About Protection Approaches

Protection Approaches was founded in 2014 to confront and prevent identity-based violence here in the UK and around the world. We work with those who make and shape decisions in order to strengthen prediction, prevention, and protection approaches to identity-based violence. We are a small organisation of eight members of staff and we are currently recruiting a Senior/Policy and Communications Officer (depending on experience) to join our growing team.

Our Values

• Justice is at the heart of human dignity and rights
• Identity-based violence comes in many forms, each rooted in the same set of causes
• Identifying and understanding what drives identity-based violence is central to preventing it
• Building strong, resilient, and inclusive societies requires challenging structural discrimination and inequality
• We have a collective and individual responsibility to protect those at risk of violence
• Governments have a fundamental duty to challenge and prevent identity based violence no matter where it occurs or how it manifests

We particularly want to encourage people who might think twice before applying, including those
from minority ethnic groups, LGBTQI+ applicants, applicants with disabilities, and anyone whose
talent and experience might not be reflected in paid professional roles and formal qualifications.
