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.
An adaptable induction process focused on wellbeing and support, as well as practical, legal and technical tasks.
A policy which aims to create environments that prevent safeguarding issues from arising, and outlines how to respond to incidents if they occur. It applies to: children, adults at risk of harm, staff members, board members, and others.
This policy aims to clarify what types of bespoke work we will do (workshops or consultancy); how it will be decided (based on capacity and equity questions); and what we will charge for the work (sliding scales based on org income).
In recognition of the gravity of the climate emergency, the PTC will donate up to 6 days leave per year (pro rated depending on your working hours) to every employee to spend on direct action – e.g. attending or preparing for demonstrations or other related voluntary activity.

A wage system based on Platform's policy, with important additions to pay adjustments for dependents (including children) and housing.
