If you think that it needs information adding to it or amending please contact XXXX.\nVersion Control:  the master copy of this document was last updated on XXXX and held by XXXX\nThis document may seem a bit overwhelming at first sight.  However don’t be unduly worried or put off by the amount of stuff in it.  If you are uncertain about some of the more complicated regulations, ask for help.  Start by doing what you can do without much effort and then work your way through the rest seeking help when you need it.  There is a section at the back containing regulations and guidance to help with what is mandatory and what is good practice.  You may wish to add relevant references to area meeting guidance and policies at suitable points.\nThis document should be adapted to suit each local meeting house needs.  It aims to cover most circumstances likely to be encountered at a meeting house.  Therefore some sections will be irrelevant to a particular location.  Those sections can be deleted whereas relevant sections should be edited and amended to suit the local circumstances.  Other relevant information and records should be added as they become available.  This document should be adequate for almost all meeting houses, however large city centre buildings will probably need more detailed arrangements, instructions and records.\nWhere a meeting has a residential property which is occupied by the warden or a commercial tenant a similar document can be produced and maintained for that building.  If wanted to can be combined with the meeting house manual.\nPlain text – Leave as existing text unless you wish to edit it\nItalics text – advice and guidance\nYellow text – to be replaced with local information\n\u000f\n\u0003Contents\n\u0013 TOC \\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u \u0014\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794628\" \u00141.\tIntroduction\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794628 \\h \u00144\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794629\" \u00142.\tUse of the building by the Quaker meeting\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794629 \\h \u00144\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794630\" \u00143.\tWarden/ Meeting House manager\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794630 \\h \u00144\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794631\" \u00144.\tKey holders\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794631 \\h \u00144\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794632\" \u00145.\tEntrance gate and car park access\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794632 \\h \u00144\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794633\" \u00146.\tIntruder alarm\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794633 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794634\" \u00147.\tPhone/Broadband/Wi-Fi\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794634 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794635\" \u00148.\tPost\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794635 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794636\" \u00149.\tRoom hire arrangements\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794636 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794637\" \u001410.\tLong term lettings\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794637 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794638\" \u001411.\tSafeguarding arrangements\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794638 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794639\" \u001412.\tFirst aid arrangements\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794639 \\h \u00146\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794640\" \u001413.\tRubbish and recycling arrangements\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794640 \\h \u00146\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794641\" \u001414.\tKitchen\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794641 \\h \u00146\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794642\" \u001415.\tCleaning arrangements and supplies\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794642 \\h \u00146\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794643\" \u001416.\tNotice boards and signs – external\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794643 \\h \u00146\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794644\" \u001417.\tNotice boards – internal\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794644 \\h \u00146\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794645\" \u001418.\tSecurity – collection boxes\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794645 \\h \u00147\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794646\" \u001419.\tHearing Loop\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794646 \\h \u00147\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794647\" \u001420.\tRoutine building inspection and checks\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794647 \\h \u00147\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794648\" \u001421.\tHeating\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794648 \\h \u00147\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794649\" \u001422.\tGas installation and equipment\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794649 \\h \u00148\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794650\" \u001423.\tHeating oil\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc3794650 \\h \u00148\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc3794651\" \u001424.\tEl","cbCaisvralv9XbXs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisvralv9XbXs","docx",59549,46,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and scope\n## Adaptation for local meeting houses\n## Where to find regulations and guidance","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Quaker meeting house handbook?\",\"answer\":\"It expands on Quaker faith \\u0026 practice principles to help maintain and manage the meeting house and its burial ground.
