Volunteer standards
Depending on the role, applicants may be required to provide identification, references, qualifications, professional registration, background checks or other screening information. Volunteers must follow safeguarding, confidentiality, conduct, photography and supervision rules.
No unsupervised access
Volunteer status should never automatically provide unsupervised access to children, private case information, residential areas or vulnerable beneficiaries.
