Please follow the guidelines below to respect guests' privacy:
All information is on a need-to-know basis
Shift leads will document disciplinary actions in the shift notes and communicate with the Volunteer Coordinator/Site Manager & Executive Director.
Only approach or engage with a guest in the community if they initiate the interaction.
The WAB Board of Directors and the Executive Director have full discretion to determine appropriate actions for volunteers who fail to respect guests' privacy.
Tips for Accepting Language
Educate yourself: Learn about inclusive language and its impact through resources like workshops and online guides.
Be gender inclusive: Use gender-neutral terms and respect preferred pronouns to create a welcoming environment.
Respect cultural sensitivities: Be aware of cultural nuances, avoid stereotypes, and show respect for diverse perspectives.
Choose person-first language: Prioritize the person over the label, e.g., "a person with a disability" instead of "a disabled person."
Be the change: Lead by example with inclusive language to foster a more inclusive workplace culture.
