In order to benefit from what Littledale offers, a safe and supportive environment is paramount. All those who commit to coming to Littledale are agreeing to abide by three key centre rules designed to keep themselves and the community safe:
Build inclusive relationships
Contact with family and friends who are currently involved with the Criminal Justice System and/or have their own issues with addiction may be allowed if they have a positive influence on the resident’s recovery
Treat everyone with respect and ensure your behaviour is honest, unintimidating and non-violent
Anyone who acts in ways that compromise theirs or others' safety will be asked to account for their behaviour and may be asked to leave if their behaviour persists and/is deemed as serious enough to warrant this.
