Don’t use your phone whilst at work unless it is an emergency.
Don’t invite young people to your home or accept invitations to their home.
Don’t initiate or agree to meet young people outside of work hours or outside of the work place.
Don’t talk about things that you have done in your past that are illegal or inappropriate.
Don't ask about young peoples’ pasts and their journeys prior to entering UK - unless they bring it up and even then, be sensitive and aware of who else is around and listening and do not probe for information.
Don’t ask about families, as this can often be a painful and sensitive subject.
Don't smoke or drink in front of young people or tell them/ show them that you do and don’t swear in front of them. Remember that you are an appropriate adult to them and they may have few other adults in their life that they can follow or look up to.
Avoid excessive physical contact and be aware of what kind of contact could be perceived as inappropriate.
You should not be alone with one young person in order to avoid any allegations and if this is not possible to do; all risks must be minimised by following Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
If a young person discusses something personal with you, ensure that this is kept confidential from other young people and people outside of Dost.
If a young person discusses something with you that makes you believe that they or someone else may be at the risk of harm, you have a legal responsibility to report this to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (Marian Spiers). You can inform the young person that you are unable to keep that information confidential or if this is not possible, you must still report this as soon as possible. Follow guidance from the Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
Use appropriate language and do not say things that could be taken as racist, sexist or discriminatory.
Don’t impose your own religious, political or moral or ethical views onto the young people.
Don’t take photos/ videos of the young people with your own equipment or allow them to use your phone/ camera.
Don’t post anything about Dost on Social Media without prior consent.
