People Care Guidelines
The key to creating a safe, welcoming place to be is how we are with each other from moment to moment. We ask everyone who participates to abide by our People Care Guidelines.
Our Way of Being Board
These guidelines evolved through our experience of gardening and cooking together at PLOT 22. They support us to work safely and well together and have been shared widely with other garden projects.
In addition to these guidelines we have two simple rules:
To keep us all safe we are a NO ALCOHOL site. This means no alcohol is consumed on site or during group visits elsewhere.
There is NO MEAT OR FISH in our meals. As far as possible, we try to create meals from the produce we grow at PLOT 22. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know in advance of your visit - we can usually accommodate everyone.
Safeguarding Award
PLOT 22 was awarded the Let’s Protect Bronze Award in December 2011 and received the Partnership Community Safeguarding Award for completing the renewal process in 2015.
Quality Assurance
This award certifies the project has a working framework of policies and procedures to safeguard participating children and vulnerable adults. Let’s Protect is a national Quality Assurance Scheme endorsed by the local safeguarding children’s board and the children’s workforce development team at Brighton & Hove City Council. It is managed locally by the NSPCC ‘safe network’ champions Safety Net, who mentored us through this process.
