Code of Conduct
A few rules, all binding. Anyone who signs up accepts them; anyone who breaks them is removed.
For sitters
- State only true, checkable facts. Any experience you list must be checkable with a phone call.
- Meet the family in person before the first engagement.
- Show the family, on request, your criminal record certificate or the special extract for private individuals, up to date, before the first engagement.
- Never publish or share photographs or videos of the minors you look after, on any channel, not even a private one, without the written authorisation of whoever holds parental responsibility.
- Do not delegate an engagement to someone else and do not substitute yourself without the family's consent.
- Communicate promptly any impediment, with as much notice as possible.
- Do not administer medication except on the family's written instruction.
- Do not transport minors by car without a written agreement and without the required restraint devices.
- Respect the confidentiality of anything you learn within the family.
- Report any incident immediately, even a minor one.
For families
- Provide complete and truthful information about allergies, treatments, habits and emergency contacts.
- Agree hours, tasks and pay in writing before starting.
- Honour the agreed financial terms and payment timing.
- Do not ask the sitter to do tasks other than those agreed.
- Do not request or retain documents beyond what is necessary for your own assessment.
- Report non-compliant behaviour promptly.
For facilities
- Keep declared authorisations and insurance cover valid.
- Update availability status accurately.
- Report any relevant change without delay.
