Volunteer Code of Conduct

This Agreement does not create an employer-employee contract and is issued with the
express intention of providing clear guidance on our expectations of Look Good Feel Better
volunteers.

Our primary reason for issuing guidance is to ensure our beneficiaries, people living with
cancer, are provided with exceptional support in a safe and caring way.
Our expectations of you are that you take the time to carefully familiarise yourself with what
is expected, and to follow it at all times. If you are unclear or unsure about any of the
contents, please speak to the your Regional Manager, or the Head of Cancer Support Services.

Always follow our three guiding principles:
1. Our services are free of charge – there is no charge to beneficiaries to
attend the Look Good Feel Better workshops or classes. However, as a
charity we do appreciate beneficiaries making a donation if they so wish.
2. We are non-medical – never give advice on alternative therapies,
supplements or make comments or suggestions relating to their
treatment plan or additional treatments.
3. We are brand and service neutral – We are supported by many member
companies, all of which provide an array of donations and support to
Look Good Feel Better. As such no specific organisations or products are
to be endorsed, promoted, or sold at any point whether in workshops, or
representing the charity out in the community.

When you become a Look Good Feel Better volunteer, you become the face of the charity.
Whether you’re wearing a T-shirt, tabard, or pin badge when volunteering for us, we
expect you to uphold our values and give everyone a positive Look Good Feel Better
experience.

Look Good Feel Better will ensure that it is aware of situations where the organisation and individuals may exhibit bias and prejudice – both conscious and unconscious – and take steps to prevent and rectify this.

• This information will, of course, be collected with the permission of staff and the information will be held confidentially in accordance with GDPR.

The technical bits
Definitions
This policy refers to equality, equity, diversity and inclusion (EEDI). A definition of each of these words can be found below to help staff understand what Look Good Feel Better means by these terms.

Equality in the workplace means equal job opportunities and fairness for employees and job applicants. This means equal opportunities to join project groups, access to training, development, involvement in consultations, opportunities to act in absence and so on.

Equity refers to providing various levels of support and assistance, depending on specific needs or abilities, in order to achieve real equality.

Diversity is the range of people at Look Good Feel Better. For example, this might mean people of different ages, religions and ethnicities, people with disabilities and people of specific gender or with no gender identity. It also means valuing those differences such as people’s background, education, where they are from, what languages they speak, their accent and their personal experiences.

Inclusion in the workplace means everyone feels valued at work. It lets all employees feel safe to come up with different ideas, raise issues and express their views. Look Good Feel Better encourages staff to do things in different ways. Look Good Feel Better will take into account your personal circumstances, beliefs and values along with any conditions that need to be accounted for to make you feel included and welcome.

What is meant by ‘protected characteristics’?
The term ‘protected characteristics’ used in this policy refers to those outlined in the Equality Act 2010, namely: race, sex, marital or civil partnership status, maternity and pregnancy, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment and religion or belief. Although not within the Equality Act 2010, Look Good Feel Better also considers socio-
economic status and health conditions that are not currently captured by the act to hold the same considerations within this policy.

Look Good Feel Better is committed to going beyond the legal minimum regarding EEDI and strives to be an example of best practice.
Current equality legislation and associated codes of practice have been taken into account within this policy.

What type of bias are we talking about?
Look Good Feel Better wants to ensure that it is overcoming the normative nature of its worldview (which means a view that is widely held and rarely questioned) by avoiding being an organisation that is unconsciously and unintentionally ethnocentric (which means you evaluate other cultures according to the standards and customs of your own culture), androcentric (which means you are focused on men and centred around their needs above others), heteronormative (which means your worldview promotes being heterosexual as the preferred sexuality) and ableist (which means you discriminate people with disabilities based on the belief that those without disabilities are somehow superior).

This means that Look Good Feel Better doesn’t want to do anything that may negatively impact people of particular ethnicity, those with disabilities, individuals of a certain gender or sexuality, those from a specific socio-economic or educational background, those for whom English is their second language and so on. Look Good Feel Better will ensure that it actively seeks to employ people from a range of backgrounds and experiences, that working groups and project teams are a mix of departments and people and that it is as diverse and representative of the people it serves as it can possibly be.

This policy applies to all employees, volunteers, contractors, and visitors of Look Good Feel Better. It covers all premises, activities, and operations under the charity’s control, including offices, and off-site activities where the charity is responsible for safety arrangements. The policy also addresses fire safety procedures, including prevention, emergency response, and evacuation arrangements.

Responsibilities
The Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the charity complies with all health, safety, and fire regulations. The CEO and senior management are responsible for implementing this policy and ensuring that adequate resources are allocated to maintain a safe working environment.

They must follow all health and safety procedures, report hazards or incidents promptly, and cooperate with management in implementing safe working practices. Contractors must comply with the charity’s health, safety, and fire requirements while on the premises.

Health and Safety Arrangements

Employees will receive health and safety induction training on joining the charity, with additional training provided for specific roles or activities as required. Information on health and safety procedures, first aid arrangements, and reporting of incidents will be readily accessible to all employees.

Fire Safety Arrangements
The charity recognises the importance of fire prevention and the need for a clear and effective response in the event of a fire. Fire risk assessments will be conducted and reviewed regularly, or whenever there are significant changes to the building, occupancy, or work activities.
All employees, volunteers, and visitors must be aware of fire exits, evacuation routes, and assembly points. Fire drills will be conducted at least annually, or more frequently if required, to ensure that everyone can evacuate safely and efficiently. Fire alarms and detection systems are in place within the head office building, maintained, and tested regularly in accordance with statutory requirements. Fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment will be provided, clearly marked, and checked at regular intervals.

Employees must not obstruct fire exits, tamper with fire safety equipment, or take actions that could increase the risk of fire. Any fire hazards must be reported immediately to the Health and Safety Officer. In the event of a fire, everyone must follow the charity’s emergency evacuation procedure, proceed calmly to the designated assembly point, and await further instructions.

Reporting and Investigation of Incidents
All accidents, incidents, and near-misses must be reported immediately to a line manager or the Health and Safety Officer. Records will be maintained, and serious incidents will be investigated to identify the root causes and prevent recurrence. The charity will cooperate with regulatory authorities as required in the event of a reportable accident, injury, or fire.

Monitoring and Review
The charity will regularly monitor health and safety and fire arrangements to ensure their effectiveness. This includes inspections, audits, and reviews of risk assessments and policies. The Health and Safety Officer will report findings to senior management and the Board of Trustees.
