Policy

Maintenance meeting

An agenda for a regular team meeting which aims to surface experiences of being in the group, and create a space to discuss tensions and differences.

Policy

Safeguarding policy

This is a safeguarding policy of a small organisation that facilitates, convenes, and runs trainings. It’s aim is to prevent harm and to empower the person who has experienced harm, avoiding punitive ways of addressing harm and limiting contact with state institutions, where possible, due to the harm these institutions themselves often cause, particularly in marginalised communities.

Policy

Long COVID/chronic illness

A policy to address the medium-to-long term impacts of Long COVID (and other types of chronic illness and disability) and outlines organisational processes for supporting staff affected, in a way which is aligned with disability justice and the needs of a small staff team to continue to work in a sustainable way.

Policy

Accessibility action plan (recruitment + retention)

This document can be used to track readiness to employ a learning disabled management trainee, ensuring that the trainee has the best possible chance of success at Spectra.

Policy

Peer review policy & procedure

This peer review policy and procedure aims to support all employees to achieve and maintain their maximum (reasonable) contribution to their role at the project. It’s an opportunity for all employee members to have time to reflect on their role, to think about how their work is going and what the issues are. It’s a chance to have someone else engage with their job, listen to them and support them with anything they need help with, and to grow and develop within the role.

Policy

Employee health and wellbeing policy

A values based policy aimed at supporting staff health and wellbeing based on years of adapting and learning to shape our practice which we have now formalised into a policy.
