Safety and well being - A Core Principle

At We R One, the safety, well-being, and dignity of everyone involved — from volunteers and workers to guests and partners - is a non-negotiable foundation of everything we do.

We vet people involved in sensitive or community-facing roles and always aim to balance openness with protection. Where appropriate, we request basic DBS checks (UK) or equivalents elsewhere. We’re also developing access to independent reporting pathways, so anyone with a concern can speak confidentially and without fear - whether it’s about misconduct, boundaries, or wellbeing.

Our approach is shaped by real-life examples from co-housing spaces, intentional communities, and ethical volunteer networks. And we're committed to evolving our practices as the community grows.

“We thrive in environments that respect us and allow us to feel included, safe to learn, safe to contribute, and safe to challenge the status quo.”
