We aim to ensure anyone who becomes responsible for a child has paid time off devoted to this huge new responsibility.

This policy outlines our wish to be an equitable employer by addressing how we can support team members to bring their whole selves in and calculating wages in a caring way.

We have high expectations of how we behave towards one another, and we hold each other accountable to those expectations. This policy has two sides: the culture of care that we are proactively building, and the culture of accountability that is reactively implemented. Includes: definitions of accountability and care, 3-step process for addressing harm and intro to transformative justice principles.

This policy aims to clarify who is involved in day-to-day decision making and the structures that support the team to be involved, as well as for others to get more involved.

In our flat structure, we have created a “Buddy system” where each team member acts as a buddy to another. This aims to ensure that we don’t lose the good bits of management, and that we all feel supported and able to hold ourselves accountable.
The buddy system is closely related to our feedback processes which are also detailed here.

This process provides a space for reflection and feedback: how is everyone doing, and how are we doing as a collective? It includes written self reflection and written feedback from others and an hour-long feedback meeting.
