ESSENTIAL BEHAVIOURS FOR VOLUNTEERS *
I understand
Confidentiality is of extreme importance.
Report any perceived breaches of professional conduct to the Principal.
Avoid any behaviour that could be reasonably interpreted as harassment, inappropriate or harmful.
Ensure, whenever reasonably possible, that another adult is present or close by when working in a one-to-one situation with a student and avoiding providing pastoral care or individual tuition in situations where students are or may feel isolated.
Avoid, whenever reasonably possible, being alone with a student or students in sleeping, dressing or bathroom areas. Personal space e,g. when supervising the sleeping quarter of students.
Never supply or serve alcohol or any prohibited substances to a student.
Never supply or serve any controlled substances to a student without the express permission of parent or guardian.
Never administer corporal punishment to students.
If wishing to offer rewards to students please discuss with a staff member first to ensure it aligns with school guidelines (no lollies).
Ensure that language or actions cannot be interpreted as sexualising pastoral relationships.
Seek professional advice and review of pastoral relationships when there is any sense the relationship is uncomfortable dysfunctional or unproductive.
Never ridicule, demean or intimidate a student or threaten their sense of personal safety.
When volunteering please ask permission before taking photos of students. When it is a school event please consider the privacy of other before posting pictures of students on social media.
Thank you for completing your Volunteer Induction for 2022
