Minimum Criteria
All groups who engage or aim to engage volunteers are welcome to register with us. However we do set some very basic requirements for you to have in place before we can promote your volunteer opportunities to potential volunteers. This is to safeguard both yourselves and the volunteers who may join you.
The following are essential requirements for you to have in place:
- Insurance: Sufficient insurance to cover your potential volunteers' activities.
- Health and Safety: You should follow health & safety regulations in relation to the volunteers' work with the project and make the volunteer aware of health & safety guidelines as part of their induction. In addition, if the activity is volunteering with children or vulnerable adults you need to follow legal guidelines on Criminal Record Bureau checks.
- Equal Opportunities: Your organisation should have a commitment to equal opportunities (e.g. an equal opportunities policy) and you should work in a non discriminatory way with volunteers.
We also recommend that you have some procedures and practices in place that are inline with volunteering good practice guidelines.
We strongly encourage groups to have the following:
- A system where you respond to volunteers' enquiries within 10 days.
- A fair and transparent volunteer recruitment policy.
- A named contact person for volunteers.
- Written volunteer role descriptions.
- Payment of reasonable volunteer expenses (travel/lunch etc.).
- A regular form of volunteer supervision (formal or informal).
- A system of volunteer induction and training.
- A volunteer policy with clear guidelines about inductions, training, support and supervision and how you will recognise volunteers' contribution to your organisation.
If you need help developing any of these criteria or recommendations please contact us, as we will be very happy to help. If you are unsure about anything here please do also contact us.
