			=== Returning workwear ===
			Staff must return all workwear when they leave the organisation. Returned items will be placed in the second-hand workwear box for reuse.

			== Workwear Allocation ==

			=== Initial Workwear Allocation ===
			All staff will receive workwear when they join and complete initial training:

			* Staff who work '''three or more days per week''' will receive '''two hoodies'''.
			* Staff who work '''two days per week or fewer''' will receive '''one hoodie'''.
			* All staff will receive '''t-shirts equal to the number of days they work each week'''. For example, a full-time member of staff working five days per week will receive five t-shirts.
			* Some roles will receive additional workwear (e.g. safety boots, softshell jackets) depending on their need as assessed by their line manager.

			Line Managers are responsible for notifying the Workwear Coordinator (current contact: Immi Young) of their staffs requirements for t-shirts, hoodies and softshells. Any additional workwear should be sourced by the Line Manager.

			=== Replacement Workwear ===
			Staff who need replacement workwear must speak to their Line Manager first. Line Managers will decide whether the request is appropriate.

			Where a replacement is approved, the Line Manager must email the Workwear Coordinator, including:

			# The number, type and size of workwear required.
			# The reason replacement workwear is needed.

			The Workwear Coordinator will place and print workwear orders once each quarter. A reserve stock will be kept where possible; however, replacement workwear outside the quarterly order cannot be guaranteed. New workwear will be prioritised for new staff.

			=== Second-hand workwear ===
			A second-hand workwear box will be available at the Chester-le-Street Hub. Items in this box are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
