Policies

= Policies =

Below are links to our core policies. These will be regularly reviewed over time as our network grows and activities change; however as we are a registered organisation who strive for equity for all involved in our work, we have made a start, with much appreciated input from our critical friends in the process.

Safeguarding
Our work may involve interacting with vulnerable members of the public and will involve discussion of sensitive topics at times and this policy is essential for all of our members to follow. Our Safeguarding Lead is Dr Farah El-Miligui and she leads the process for addressing concerns (contact details on the page)

If you would like to be credited publicly for your contributions or raise any concerns please contact the Data Protection Lead, Dr Kiran Bains (contact details on the page)

Health and Safety Policy
Whilst most of our work is digital, remote, office-based work, it is important to manage our health needs. We may also engage in outreach in the future and the policies and procedures we put in place can help us to maintain our health at work. Our Health and Safety Officer is Dr Bandana Upadhya (contact details on the page).

Wellbeing Policy
We do not want to just think about how to protect ourselves and each other, but how we can support and nurture each other actively. To that end we have created a wellbeing policy below, and hope everyone can join us in turning this into reality.
