Hiring Policy

Open To Create... Ltd. is committed to open hiring to support restorative justice.

During our hiring process for any paid or voluntary role, we will not ask you about contact you have had with the criminal justice process.

Having worked in Brixton Prison, we believe that finding out about each person's skills, expertise and experience is vital before we learn more about your background. We take inspiration from Greyston Bakery and Timpsons, as although we are a micro business just this simple step of asking after the interview means anyone with the right skills, expertise and experience can get an interview.

We will make clear the types of activities needed for each role and the types of work required to deliver this work i.e.; face-to-face, hybrid or solely online.

Once a suitable candidate has been selected we will go through due diligence then.

We are a micro business and commit to making reasonable adjustments, within our means and in line with the needs of each role, to make our hiring process as open as possible.

i.e. we work with a range of clients in and out of client settings such as universities, community groups

Risk Benefit Assessment (RBA) is an approach to risk assessment that focuses not just on the risks of the activity, but on the benefits of the activity. It is particularly valuable in the context of residential and outdoor learning and as such as been adopted by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (Rospa), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other leading education associations as their preferred method of risk assessment.

RBA, sometimes also known as Risk Benefit Analysis, starts with the principle that risk is an essential element in the development of a learner’s physical, emotional and intellectual development. RBA helps us as decision-makers ascertain whether the level of risk inherent in an activity is ‘worth it’ – in other words, that the benefits young people gain from the activity outweigh the risks associated with it. This process, whenever possible, needs to be co-designed, agreed then regularly checked in with throughout the cycle of any project or placement.
