8.1 Purpose of the policy

This policy operates as a preventative safeguarding measure to:

  • prevent client-to-client harassment;

8.4 Safeguarding process

When a concern is reported:

If sufficient understanding is demonstrated, re-entry may be considered.
In serious cases, a lifetime ban may apply.
