After spending many years in government facilities and now in a potentially
sensitive environment, I am a firm believer that the same sexual harassment
statement issued to your employees should be issued to volunteers and signed
as part of their file.

In the unlikely event you have a problem, that small step greatly reduces
your liability. It also lets staff and volunteers know you take the issue
seriously and will address problems equally for anyone involved.

I have sample language provided by our attorney. I will be happy to supply
it to you by email if you like.

Sincerely,
Sandra L. Harris

> Has anyone addressed the issue of Sexual Harassment in their Docent
Guidelines?  Our docent council is doing some revisions and the issue was
brought up.  While there are those who think that we will never have a
problem, others feel that we should doing everything to ensure a safe and
healthly atmosphere for our volunteers.  Any suggestions?
