At CSF Buxmont, all staff and students are expected to be friendly, to each other and to anyone who visits. They are expected to greet people, to introduce themselves to people they don’t know, to offer a handshake and to offer to help them when appropriate. The purpose is not only to create a friendly environment, but also to foster empathy and a sense of responsibility for helping others.
What is the Friendly Policy

What is a Circle?
The ideas presented below are fundamental to our agency philosophy and processes:
We believe that people are capable of growing and learning in their work and behavior.
We respond to situations WITH people, not TO them, FOR them, or NOT at all.
We separate the deed from the doer by affirming the worth of the individual while disapproving of the inappropriate behavior.
People function best in an environment that encourages free expressions of emotion – minimizing the negative, maximizing the positive, but allowing people to say what is really on their minds.
We are not expected to have all the answers. Instead of trying to answer or act without adequate knowledge, we need to ask others for help.
We hold each other accountable by giving and receiving feedback respectfully.
We act as role models by admitting when we are wrong and being humble.
We help people develop competencies rather than providing the answers for them
