RedR India is committed to the principles of RedR Federation (www.redr.org.in) and adheres to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement/NGO Code of Conduct. RedR is a federation of national accredited RedR organsations, who share a common Vision and Mission. RedR is independent.
The national organisations, whilst they may act in the humanitarian service of their governments and whilst they may be associated with other organisations, maintain their autonomy so that they can at all times act in accordance with the principles of RedR.
At present, there are RedR organisations in 5 countries namely, Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and United Kingdom.
RedR India follows the fundamental principles of RedR Federation:
Objective: RedR exists in order to provide suitably trained and experienced personnel to relief agencies in order to help them relieve people from the debilitating conditions that occur when disasters disrupt the normal pattern of life.
Neutrality: In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, RedR does not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
Impartiality: RedR makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious belief, gender, class or political opinions. It endeavors to provide suitable personnel being guided solely by the needs of each situation.
Scope: Each RedR maintains a Register of experienced personnel from which operational agencies (governmental, non-governmental and international) can obtain the skills they require to improve their response in disaster relief. RedR does not act in an operational capacity.
Independence: RedR is independent. The national organizations, whilst they may act in the humanitarian service of their governments and whilst they be associated with other organizations, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of RedR.
Voluntary Service: RedR acts voluntarily and is not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
Unity: There can be only one RedR organization in any one country. However, one RedR organization may cover several countries.
