-Whether someone visits the centre or uses its facilities

As a volunteer, you are expected to build safe and respectful relationships with clients and fellow team members. Please maintain a professional, discreet, and respectful approach in all interactions and responsibilities.

If you believe you may have unintentionally shared confidential information, or if you witness a potential breach of privacy, report it immediately to a staff member. Prompt reporting helps us respond appropriately and protect the well-being of clients, visitors, and volunteers.

At Oasis, everyone must be treated with respect and fairness, no matter their race, religion, or culture.

Please be mindful of your words and actions, especially in shared or public spaces. People around you may have different backgrounds and may be sensitive to what is said or done.
