Sound policies provide the foundation for a safe environment. They tell your employees and volunteers what is and is not acceptable; they set your tolerance levels; and they can protect you if you face litigation. But are your policies doing their job? Do they address such ever-changing issues as whether your employees can communicate with students via text message, social networking sites or after normal school/work hours? Do they set limits on when and how employees or volunteers can demonstrate affection toward students?
