Governance
Our policies
Street Buffet is a program of The Schaffa Foundation, and we operate under the policies its board has adopted — not a separate copy written for this site. That way there is exactly one version of each policy, kept up to date in one place, rather than two that can quietly drift apart. The two volunteers and parents ask about most are below; the full set of six sits on the Foundation’s own site.
Code of Conduct
To set out clearly how everyone acting on behalf of Street Buffet is expected to behave, so that the people we serve are treated with dignity and our volunteers know where they stand.
Child Safety Policy and WWCC Register
To protect children and young people involved with Street Buffet, and to make clear what is expected of every adult in our organisation.
The rest of the set
Conflict of Interest Policy
To make sure decisions are made in the interests of the organisation and the people it serves, and are seen to be.
Privacy Policy
To explain what personal information we collect, why, how we protect it, and what rights people have over it.
Complaints and Feedback
To give anyone a clear way to raise a concern, and to make sure we hear it, act on it, and learn from it.
Communications and Social Media
To protect the dignity of the people we serve in everything we publish, and to be clear about who may speak for the organisation.
These are adopted by the board of The Schaffa Foundation and reviewed at least every two years. For a signed copy, or if something here looks out of date, email admin@streetbuffet.org.au or see the full set on schaffafoundation.org.
