Rad policies, processes & structures…
A policy and process for addressing conflict in a small team, which integrates non-punitive accountability measures and nuanced understandings of conflict and accountability for harm, with the legal requirements of an organisational grievance process.
A socially-just pay policy, including adjustments for: time worked; dependents; no recourse to public funds; experience of marginalisation; city living; and disability. It also includes adjustments for freelance pay; a process for implementation; an emergency pay system; and an emergency fund for workers.
A (more) plain English contract for freelance workers, which aims simply ongoing work agreements and to equalise terms in areas such as: Intellectual property, liability and cancellation pay.
This employment contract aims to enshrine a more equitable relationship between employee and employer and is designed to make it easy and accessible to understand the key elements of employment with us.
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 supporting us to make decisions of what grants and donations to accept and which to return or not accept.
A maternity policy that is inclusive and caring towards the people involved in starting or wishing to start a family.
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.
A radical approach to safeguarding that questions the definition of "vulnerable" and instead places all people we work with at the heart of the policy holistically. We propose a shared opportunity to use non-punitive procedures, ask for consent, offer a matrix to attempt to diffuse conflict or avoid involving external agencies and supporting both victim and perpetuator.
We aim to ensure anyone who becomes responsible for a child has paid time off devoted to this huge new responsibility.
