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.

Policy
Use of AI (artificial intelligence) tools & software
This policy aims to provide a flexible framework within which staff can make informed decisions about the use of AI tools and software and that any such use is accountable, transparent and responsible whilst ensuring workers are treated and paid decently, preventing bias and discrimination, and minimising impacts on the climate and environment. It is not intended to provide a blanket “yes” or “no” answer to whether we use AI.
Policy
Flat structure mutual support and feedback
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.
