Annex B

STANDARDS FOR HOSTEL ACCOMMODATION - “SKILLS FOR JOBS 2015”

Training Providers conducting training outside PSDF districts shall be responsible for the security and well-being of the boarders during the time that training is funded under the contract i.e. from the date of the trainee joining the class to the date of completion of training. Specifically, the training provider will be responsible for maintaining the following standards in a hostel:

Location: Hostels cannot be located in buildings that are predominantly family dwellings nor can individual boarders be housed with families. The location should not be close to any hazardous site.

A full-time hostel warden shall be appointed who shall be resident in the hostel. Alternatively, complete 24/7 supervisory coverage shall be ensured by appointing more than one person in shifts. This means that a designated warden shall be present at all times in the hostel facilities.

Space: The hostel shall meet the following minimum specifications in terms of space:

Bedroom area: 6 sq. meters per trainee Dining area: 3 square meters per trainee Common Room/Lounge 3 square meter per trainee.

Furniture and Fixtures: The hostel facilities shall have the following arrangements:

1 bed with mattress and pillow, 1 chair and 1 wardrobe per trainee 2 bed sheets and 2 pillow covers Clean and functional toilet facilities Lighting, ventilation & fans

Food: The training provider shall be responsible to provide food of acceptable standards to the boarders on a self-contributory basis. To avoid any complaints related to food, the hostel warden may maintain a record of purchases, utilities and services for the sake of transparency. PSDF will provide funds to the Training Provider for meeting the cost on approved rates mentioned elsewhere.

Water: The training premises and the hostel facilities shall have clean drinking water facilities of acceptable standards.

Cleanliness: The hostel premises shall be cleaned on a daily basis.

Separate Sites: Males and female hostels shall be located at different sites.

Family Members: No family member /guest shall be allowed to stay in the hostel with boarders.

Medical Cover: A first aid box shall be maintained at each hostel site. The training provider shall have on its panel a male/female doctor to whom trainees can be referred to in case of ill health. A person requiring constant medical attention shall strictly not be enrolled for training.

Fire/Accidents: Boarders shall also be instructed on measures to prevent or deal with fires or accidents. Firefighting equipment shall be available on the hostel premises.

Environment: A clean and healthy environment shall be ensured. Training facilities shall be sprayed with insecticides on a weekly basis.

Discipline: All boarders shall be given an orientation session covering, in particular, standards of acceptable behavior, punctuality, use of facilities etc. Care shall be taken to ensure that no disturbance/inconvenience is caused in the neighborhood due to undesirable behaviour of trainees. Boarders shall be expected to maintain high standards of discipline in their dealings with outsiders and amongst themselves. The hostel warden shall fairly and effectively deal with any issues arising between boarders.

Emergencies: The warden or training providers shall provide all possible assistance to the trainees in case of any emergency situation (such as sudden illness, accident etc.). It shall be the training providers’ responsibility to immediately inform the boarder’s next-of-kin and PSDF of an emergency situation threatening safety of the boarder. A contact list of guardian/next-of-kin shall be maintained by the hostel warden for this purpose.

Consent: It is advisable that the training provider should obtain a consent form from parents/guardians of the trainee at the time of enrolment. This may include informing the parents/guardians of the providers’ hostel policy covering visits, access and other rules.

Notice: The training provider may notify the local authorities (such as the DCO office) of the fact that a particular number of trainees, belonging to the PSDF districts, are undergoing training and are residing at specified locations, and are funded under a Government of Punjab initiative i.e. PSDF.

Overstay: PSDF shall not be responsible or liable for overstay (or any consequences thereof) of boarders beyond the contract period.

Visitors: The hostel warden shall only allow designated visitors. Kinship of these visitors shall be clearly established. A visiting time shall be notified and displayed.

Own visits: The boarders shall be allowed for a visit only with the explicit permission of the warden and should be back in the hostel by 7:00 PM strictly. The warden shall maintain a register to record visits of the boarders and of outsiders.

Hostel Rules: Training providers are encouraged to developed detailed rules (consistent with the above) and make these known to the trainees/boarders. These should also contain a complaint redressal system.

Monitoring: PSDF or its monitors have the right to inspect hostel facilities at any time to ensure observance of the above rules
