Code of Conduct

This is what we expect from everyone involved, whether a young person, staff, or anyone else. You must respect the Code.

  • Youth Shedz has a set of Youth Shedz Principles – these must be respected by everyone; the principles are something created by young people for young people, which represents what Youth Shedz stands for.
  • Abuse, violence, bullying, anti-social behaviour, and other harmful behaviour is not allowed.
  • Alcohol and drugs are not allowed in the Shed and any person entering the Shed showing signs of having taken alcohol or drugs will be asked to leave immediately.
  • Members of the Shed will respect the confidentiality of all individuals, whether present or not – what is said in the Shed, stays in the Shed (this only changes if we think someone could be in danger in any way).
  • Youth Shedz is for everyone no matter differences of nationality, disability, age, race, gender, orientation, or religion.
  • This is what we expect from everyone involved, whether you’re a young person, a member of staff, or anyone else. You must respect the Code.
  • Members will treat everyone with respect and fairly, regardless of differences of opinions or views – we treat others how we want to be treated.
  • Sheds work best when members work as a team. Every member should take responsibility for helping and supporting each other.
  • Everyone is responsible for following safeguarding and health & safety rules that are put in place as they are there to keep us safe.
  • If conflict happens, we will help you to reach a resolution that will be to everyone’s benefit. Don’t avoid us or the situation – we are here to help you.
  • No member of the Youth Shedz staff or team shall use their position of power for personal gain or wrongful treatment of others. We respect each other, always.
