Our next Lunch Meet is Thursday May 28th 1-2pm sign-up now.

An open, collaborative library of radical HR & operations policies.
Advice on how to create radical alternatives to standard policies.
Find out about opportunities to explore radical HR together.
Stories and learning from the frontline of radical internal policy work.
RadHR is a space where groups and organisations invested in building a fairer and more equitable society can come together to share the nuts and bolts—the policies, processes, practices and stories—of how we organise ourselves based on our values.
We are a free, open, and collaborative resource built by people like you: community groups, mutual aid organisations, cooperatives, activist groups and voluntary sector organisations interested in finding ways of working together that help us look after each other and challenge the power structures we find in the wider world.

It has been written to follow the guidelines set out in the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, without the punishment-based approach of issuing warnings.
