• Equal opportunities (Equality act)

• Health and safety policy

• Adhering to Codes of conduct

• CRB checked staff and voluntary workers

• No sexual discrimination against staff or young people  

• Reasonable working hours/ appropriate working conditions 
• welfare policy

• Consent forms from parents of participants

• Staff/ young people should avoid being under the influence of alcohol or drugs  

•  Adult to young person ratio 

• Behaviour policy

• Anit-bullying policy 

• Employment contracts and terms of employment

• Job requirements and description
