Safer Working

2. Appropriate Behaviours

2.6. Gifts, rewards and favouritism

You should:

  • Be aware of Aiming Higher's policy in relation to accepting gifts
  • Ensure that any gifts you receive are declared.
  • Only give gifts to any of our beneficiaries as approved by your line manager, charity manager and/or treasurer. Ensure everyone receives the same gift, for example a goodie bag at the end of a coffee and chat session should be given to everyone who attends, or one per household that attends.
  • Ensure that when selecting individuals (for example, picking teams for a game) it is seen as fair. If possible, have two members of staff carrying out the selection, or draw names out of a hat.
