Policies vs Procedures

Policies

Policies are clear, simple statements of how we intend to conduct our services, actions or business. They provide a set of guiding principles to help us with decision making.

Procedures

Procedures describe how each policy will be put into action in our organisation. Each procedure should outline:

  • Who will do what
  • What steps they need to take
  • Which forms or documents to use

Safeguarding & Social Media

Everybody has the right to be safe no matter who they are or what their circumstances. Safeguarding is about protecting everyone from harm, abuse or neglect. This includes the residents and clients we work with, staff and volunteers.

Our approach to safeguarding includes clearly assessing risks and taking actions to mitigate these risks.

We believe that effective safeguarding also looks beyond traditional notions of harm and abuse, we also take into consideration health and safety, and other ways to ensure the health and wellbeing of our volunteers, residents and clients.

Data Protection

The Data Protection Act controls how we use, store, and dispose of; the personal information we collect from our residents, clients, staff and volunteers.

Data protection is the process by which we safeguard this important information from corruption, compromise or loss.

We take data protection very seriously and have strict guidelines that all our staff and volunteers must follow.
