A plain-English pay policy for a small youth work cooperative, in which pay is variable, depending on current organisational income levels. Aims to offer the flexibility of freelance work, while offering additional forms of support (like sick pay).

Our rest policy acknowledges that due to structural inequalities in the cultural sector, not everyone experiences work in the same way. It offers up to three additional days of paid rest per year for staff members who experience inequality.

This is a youth work cooperative safeguarding policy, accessible for a range of members, which avoids resorting to calling state authorities, unless the group’s safeguarding contacts are not available. Designed by an organisation with a mix of paid and voluntary youth workers, some of whom are adults and some are young people, too. Safety is supported via collective dialogue between youth workers.

A policy for the situations in which a member of staff can take leave to support the care of another, with broad and detailed definitions of what constitutes care and who the policy can apply to. Also includes legal framework.

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.

A policy to address the ethics of a range of organisational spending decisions, such as travel, food, service provision, banking, insurance, and more. Aims to apply environmental and social justice principles to all organisational expenditure.
