Responsibility for the
Distribution of RAD Reports
RAD is the Laceweb Documentation
supporting Rapid Assessment in Disaster
Contexts of Psycho-social Wellness Resources and Resilience in its many
forms.
RAD Assessors must take no
action that harms or even potential harms anyone. If there is any chance of
harm then the relevant people’s details are not passed on.
Distribution of the RAD
Report is the responsibility of the organisation or government that commissions
it.
Laceweb intercultural
enablers are available for supporting entities in Intercultural Interfacing and may
be available to act as relational
mediator on the ground in affected areas (refer Relational Mediation and the Daughter on Bail story for an introduction to relational mediation.
RAD is an important process
for the rapid assessment of the wellness, resilience, competency, and
psycho-social resources and ways of local populations during and after natural
and man-made disasters and conflicts.
The RAD Template and
associated resources may be used in both the emergency phase and in ongoing
unstable post-conflict/ post disaster contexts.
The RAD report will include
recommendations for the enabling, evolving, supporting and sustaining of local
action by locals in self-help and mutual help towards wellbeing as appropriate
to context as local affected people see it.
The RAD Report details available
individual, family, and community strengths and human, financial, and material
resources, including political support. It will provide useful cultural,
religious, and ethnic elements to be considered for both the refugee and other
populations affected by conflict/disaster and the host community or
communities.
Recommendations made in the
report are directed to outsiders in how they may aim at bridging emergency
support to longer-term actions and development in supporting the locals.
