At Out Loud we treat others with respect and work to maintain positive relationships with children and their families. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards violence and aggression to ensure that all members of our team and community feel safe, secure and valued. Out Loud team members have the right to work and carry out their duties in an environment free from violence, threatening or abusive behaviour. All team members have the right to be treated with consideration, dignity, and respect and we will afford the same right to the children and families who come to our clinic.
