CODE OF CONDUCT
Blanchet House's Volunteer Conduct and Behavior Agreement contain guidelines designed to promote ethical, dignified, and professional services within our organization. Your commitment to these guidelines is vital to our mission and affirms the dignity and rights of all people who are served by Blanchet House. We conduct ourselves in ways that respect people and recognize their worth. We hold ourselves and each other to the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct.
Respectful Boundaries
As a volunteer, we ask that you maintain respectful boundaries to protect yourself, residents, and meal guests. Relationships must remain professional at all times. Please:
● Avoid personal relationships with meal guests and residents. Please do not foster a relationship that is social, parental, romantic, or sexual, including sharing personal problems or feelings. Please avoid discussing politics or other potentially controversial topics.
● Do not under any circumstances share contact information with our residents or meal guests.
● Do not follow or friend our residents or meal guests on social media.
● Respect physical boundaries. Please do not hug guests and residents. Never touch a resident or meal guest or their possessions without their consent.
● Do not engage in conversation about alcohol or drug use. Many of the people we serve are challenged by addiction and can be triggered by such talk.
Confidentiality
● Please keep private anything you hear or know about someone you serve or are served. Please act in ways that promote confidentiality rather than disclosure of personal information. This policy is meant to encourage discretion at all times and is not intended to inhibit normal business communications or reports related to our discrimination and harassment policy.
● If you ever see a current or former resident or meal guest outside of Blanchet House, please take cues from the individual as to how they would like to interact. Some people would like to keep it private that they have used or currently use our services.
Discrimination and Harassment
We want to provide a safe, positive, and equitable environment for everyone volunteering and utilizing our services. This means an environment free from discrimination or harassment. Harassment can be based on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, age, expunged juvenile record, the performance of duty in a uniformed service, or physical or mental disability, or any other characteristic protected by local, state, or federal law, regulation, or ordinance, also violent behavior that is not necessarily illegal but still prohibited. We prohibit any conduct that a reasonable person would consider unwelcome, intimidating, hostile, threatening, violent, abusive, or offensive.
Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, the following types of conduct:
● Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other conduct of a sexual nature, when such conduct is directed toward an individual and submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a condition of volunteering; or submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for decisions affecting that individual.
● Unwelcome verbal or physical conduct that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to have the effect of interfering with work performance or creating a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment.
Reporting Harassment, Discrimination, or Inappropriate Behavior
Any volunteer aware of or experiencing discrimination or harassment should make a verbal or written report to the Volunteer Manager or the Executive Director in a timely manner. If you hear or see violations of any of our policies by volunteers, staff, or residents please report them. Please know that any form of retaliatory action toward a volunteer for filing a complaint of discrimination or harassment is prohibited.
Food Safety and Equity
All volunteers are required to watch the Oregon Food Bank Food Safety Video and Civil Rights Video. Please consult the Volunteer Handbook for additional orientation and volunteering information. Links to the videos can be found on the Blanchet House website (blanchethouse.org).
By continuing, I agree to uphold the Blanchet House Volunteer Conduct and Behavior Agreement, maintaining confidentiality, professional boundaries, and ethical service to the guests of Blanchet House. I further agree to uphold the standards and expectations set forth in the Volunteer Handbook.
