Engagement Plan

Step 1: Awareness of Policy
Post notices in building; put reminder of policy on agenda for all meetings in July and Aug; send out e-mails to all list servs; put link to Tobacco Free web site on our home page; make a note of the new policy on any invitations which we send out to groups who will be using our building; review any web site materials which may help us interpret the policy – "Managing Change" guidelines, etc

Step 2: Engagement
Determine "walking route" based on "hot spots" map from CFS; recruit/assign individuals who will walk the routes; have them sign up to attend one of the training workshops offered by the Tobacco Free Committee; have walkers sign up for specific dates/times to walk on a standardized form (try to have enough volunteers so each pair only has to walk once a week); have someone in charge of sending weekly reminders to walkers; encourage walkers to respond to a specific person about encounters they had on their routes – what works, difficult situations; Compile data for 6 and 12 month evaluations; someone to complete "Engagement Rounds Tally Sheet" and send it to Holly or Katie; confer with other areas as necessary with questions, concerns

Step 3: Mapping Plan for Engagement
Set times for walks – change times each day of the week; determine resources the walkers with have with them (some materials will be given out at the training; others can be downloaded from the Tobacco Free web site); submit plan on-line, with dates/times of walks

Step 4: Evaluation/Assessment of Engagement rounds
Review tally sheet on a regular basis to adjust plan as necessary; consider how “cooperative” people have been to ask smokers not to smoke and of smokers for not smoking on IU property

Departmental Information
Engagement Plan

Step 1: Awareness of Policy
Starting August 14, 2006, IUPUI and the Ronald McDonald House will be completely smoke and tobacco free. Our smoking table at the corner of the parking lot will no longer be a smoking area. Tobacco in any form—cigarettes, pipes, chewing tobacco, snuff—is not allowed on campus or around the Ronald McDonald House effective August 14th. The enforcement of the smoking policy is the responsibility of the Staff. If you see any tobacco use, please let a staff member know immediately. The manner in which you can assist us in implementing this policy is during the check in process. During the check in process, it is important that you emphasize the Tobacco Free policy. We will have a supply of cards to give to each House Guest over the age of 18 that provides them with the policy and the ramifications for them if they violate the policy. The use of tobacco can result in their being evicted from the House permanently. For our Guests who smoke, this will be a serious change for them especially if they increase their smoking to relieve stress. We do have information we can share with them regarding smoking cessation. Those items will be made available through the office or any Operations Staff member. The approach that IUPUI is taking with their enforcement is positive and that is the approach we need to take in the House—we do not want to add to their stress level as they deal with a sick or injured child. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact Dennis as soon as possible.

Step 2: Engagement

To: Ronald McDonald House Staff
From: Dennis Craig
Date: July 26, 2006
Re: Tobacco Free IUPUI and the Ronald McDonald House

  1. The Tobacco Free starting date is August 14, 2006.
  2. The guests are being notified of the new policy via flyers throughout the House and they will be notified by the staff/Volunteers during their check in process to the House.
  3. There is a grace period of one month from August 14 to September 14 except for people who violate the policy by smoking in the House itself. Each violation will be reviewed by the Operations Director and a decision regarding possible action will be made on a case by case basis. The status of the new policy and its enforcement will be reviewed at the end of the four week period.
  4. The smoking table and cigarette urn in the parking lot will be removed the week prior to the campus going tobacco free.
  5. Guests can smoke in their cars and it is their responsibility to not throw their debris in the parking lot or allow their smoking to disturb or intrude on passers by.
  6. Guests cannot smoke or use tobacco walking to and from their cars in the parking lot, smoke between the House and Graduate Apartments on the south side walk of the House and anyone who discards their debris at in any of those areas is considered to be in violation of the Tobacco Free policy.
  7. The Tobacco Free Team is Dennis Craig, Connie Cripe, Pam Earnest and Jennifer Ransone. We will receive training the week of July 31, 2006. The policy of engagement is to be handled in a positive manner with the goal of bringing a guest into compliance with the policy and not removing them from the House.
  8. It is our goal to move the guests to the Courtyard for socializing and relaxation instead of congregating in the parking lot.
  9. We realize the focus of our guests will be on their child in the hospital, but smoking cessation resources will be made available to them.
  10. Staffs that are not on the Tobacco Free Team can assist us by letting us know if you see a guest in violation. If you know the guest and you are comfortable engaging them regarding the policy, please do so. If not, please let Team member know as soon a possible. We will be keeping records of guests who are in violation in order to make decision regarding their continued residency.
  11. Please be aware that not all violators around the House will be Ronald McDonald House guests. These will be referred to university personnel.

Step 3: Mapping Plan for Engagement

Ronald McDonald House
Tobacco Free Engagement/Assessment Policy
August 14, 2006

The team members are Dennis Craig, Operations Director; Jennifer Ransone, Volunteer Manager; Connie Cripe and Pam Earnest, Guest Services Managers.

During the first four weeks, we will engage our guests that are found to be in violation in a manner that is geared to bringing them in line with the policy. During the check in process, each guest will be given a paper which details the tobacco free policy for both the interior and exterior of the Ronald McDonald House. Our current policy for the interior of the House is that tobacco is forbidden and tobacco use could lead to an immediate eviction.

An ongoing evaluation will occur during the initial stages of the implementation of the policy and if changes in direction are required, they will be identified and put in place.

At the end of the first month, the engagement policy for the exterior of the building will change and be in line with the policy for the interior which is that a guest who is found to be using tobacco could face immediate eviction from the Ronald McDonald House.

This policy will be reviewed in six months.

Step 4: Evaluation/Assessment of Engagement rounds

Smoking Policy Action
Ronald McDonald House
July 17, 2006

From Tobacco Free IUPUI:
"Effective August 14, 2006 on the IUPUI Campus the use or sale of any tobacco product – cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff – will be prohibited on IUPUI-owned, -operated or -leased property."

This includes the Ronald McDonald House. The response of the House in terms of implementation of the new policy will take place in three steps.

Step 1
The House Guests will be notified starting immediately that the campus and the Ronald McDonald House will be completely Tobacco Free starting August 14th. This will be done by an in-House advertising campaign and advising guests at check in the starting date for the Tobacco Free program. The current "House Guidelines" Rule # 2 will be updated to reflect the new Tobacco Free policy and a card will be issued to each guest detailing the policy. The “House Guidelines” will be revised to reflect the new policy. This policy will also be posted in the Ronald McDonald House at Riley as well and it will be a discussion point with the Riley Social Workers at our next meeting so they can inform their clients. House guests will be allowed to smoke in their vehicles and we will be open with them regarding that fact. It will be made clear to the guests that they are being held responsible not to litter the parking lot with their smoking debris.

Step 2
The Ronald McDonald House smoking area in the south parking lot in the northwest corner has been designated a "Hot Spot" where smoking is currently allowed. The protocol suggested by Tobacco Free IUPUI is for a team of two staff members to tour the hot spots during the day to interact and educate anyone who is smoking. The team members go through a brief training with IUPUI to assist them in having a positive engagement with any violators. Anyone who is smoking in violation of the new policy will be provided with a card stating the policy and additional information regarding smoking cessation resources that are available to them. Our team members for the Ronald McDonald House are Dennis Craig, Jenny Ransone and Connie Cripe. The tour of the hot spots will occur four times a day until it is determined that the policy has reached its desired effect of a tobacco free environment.

Step 3
Currently our policy for guests violating the tobacco ban in the Ronald McDonald House, when it is a clear violation, is to evict them on the first incident. There will be a transition period of policy enforcement in regard to the exterior of the House once the August 14th start date has arrived. This period will last four weeks and it will be evaluated at the end of that time to determine if it is advisable to provide equal levels of enforcement for both the exterior and interior of the House.

Engagement Plan

Step 1: Awareness of Policy
Dean White will discuss the policy at the first Chairs and Directors meeting on September 8, 2006. Chairs in turn will be asked to discuss the policy with their respective faculty and staff. Rick Hanson, Assistant Dean for Finance and Administration, discussed the policy with staff members at the monthly staff meeting last May. It will be presented again at the September 2006 meeting. Currently Cavanaugh Hall has signs about the policy posted throughout the building. Rick Ward, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, will post announcements of the policy and related web-links on the faculty and staff list serve and ask faculty to inform students of the policy on the first day of class. Amy Jones, our Director of Student Recruitment and Retention, will send an announcement on the policy and related web-links to our Liberal Arts student list serve and will communicate with our student officers on means of publicizing the policy.

Step 2: Engagement
The Liberal Arts building coordinator and volunteers from among the Associate deans and administrative staff will monitor the ongoing compliance with the policy. The Dean’s office and the Office of Student Affairs will maintain supplies of the support materials which will be handed out on demand or provided to individuals found to be in violation of the policy, specifically, the yellow, "Tobacco Free IUPUI" cards will also be given to such individuals.

Step 3: Mapping Plan for Engagement
CA building coordinator and volunteers from the Associate Deans and the Dean’s staff, will monitor hot spots and the building perimeter and review the procedure for talking with smokers. A list of cessation resources will be carried by “team” members to have available for smokers

Step 4: Evaluation/Assessment of Engagement rounds
Volunteers will regularly inform the dean on the progress of implantation and compliance as determined by the regular "walk-arounds" of the building and its associated "hot spots." Monitoring and enforcement procedures will be modified if it is determined there is a problem (e.g. if we frequently find individuals violating the policy or if physical evidence, such as cigarette butts on the ground, indicate the policy is being violated on a regular basis.)

Engagement Plan

Step 1: Awareness of Policy
We have posted notices on several bulletin boards in the building; announced the new policy at our Faculty/Staff Orientation on 8/21/06; included new policy in all of our e-news bulletins; and window static stickers have been added to all exterior doors of the building as reminders.

Step 2: Engagement
We are recruiting students from our Active Student Artist group as well as assigning director level staff for our designated walking route(s). Once this team is established we will have them attend one of the training workshops offered by the Tobacco Free Committee. We expect feedback from our volunteers so that we can determine next best steps for 6 and 12 month evaluations.

Step 3: Mapping Plan for Engagement
For the first 4 weeks of classes we have scheduled the following rounds: 1-11:30-Noon; 2-3:00-3:30. These are the times our classes let out and we find the most frequent smokers around the Herron building. We will evaluate after the first four weeks to determine future schedules.

Step 4: Evaluation/Assessment of Engagement rounds
We will complete tally sheet on a weekly basis and will evaluate effectiveness at 6 months and 12 months.
