your org's policy on working with kids?
we're hard at work on Community Cycles' shop manual, and we're wondering if any of you have any formal policies for shop volunteers and/or staff that you'd feel like sharing. i'm imagining something to the effect of "at least two staff must be present when kids are around..." or something like that.
on a somewhat related note, have any of you had any experience with someone--staff, volunteer, customer, etc--being inappropriate around kids, (aside from normal bad language..) that you had to deal with a parent for? i'd be interested in hearing about that experience...
thanks!

I'm about to start some staff training and I'm looking for materials for helping teach our staff how to better & more quickly diagnose bike problems as they come into the shop, both for more accurate estimating and for the mechanics to be able to more quickly do the proper (& complete) repairs. Do any of you have anything like this already written up or know of something like this online that you can direct me to?
I tried browsing the Bike Collectives web site for such resources and only found a lot of broken links.
Many thanks in advance for anything you might have or know of,

this is more for doing a safety check before a bike leaves the shop, but we only do this for in house builds. it could be modified though for a quick diagnosis by making a flow chart out of it. if i make one i will send it to the list.
