Health and Safety Policy

At Handcrafted, we are dedicated to supporting our staff in line with our Christian ethos and values. We understand that life can present challenges, whether through illness or unforeseen circumstances. We aim to provide a supportive environment that also ensures the smooth operation of our charity.

This policy outlines how we manage absences, with a focus on promoting the health and well-being of our team while keeping the charity functioning effectively. We aim to balance compassion for our staff with our responsibilities to colleagues, beneficiaries, and the commitments we've made.

This policy will be reviewed as required and at least annually by the group or individual responsible for review and authorised by the Trustees as below:
