1. I will read all the relevant documents regarding the School of Humanity SOPs and Ways of Working and will participate in the necessary training sessions and onboarding at the start of my employment at SoH.

Communication will be limited to SoH working hours and through recognized SoH channels such as Slack and will always remain respectful and considerate.

If I detect any serious issues, such as issues concerning negative behavior, debilitating well-being, or lack of attendance from either learners or other members of staff, I shall inform the School of Humanity core team.
