As well as having a constitution that covers the rules of the group, it is also a very good idea to have some written documents on three important matters; equal opportunities, health and safety and protection of vulnerable people.

In fact, if your Friends group is expecting to apply for grants, funders will ask for copies of

policies covering:

•Equal opportunities /diversity / equality
•Health & Safety
•Child Protection / Protection of Vulnerable People

Don’t worry! Sample policies and help to write your own is on hand!
