We’ve refreshed our Recruiting Volunteers resources to help voluntary organisations stay up to date with the latest guidance and good practice.
With changes to the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme, Disclosure Scotland processes, and wider volunteering guidance, we’ve reviewed and updated many of the resources available in our online library.
Whether you’re developing a volunteer programme, reviewing your existing recruitment processes or welcoming new volunteers, our resource library contains practical guidance, templates and sample policies to support you every step of the way.
Resources include:
- Volunteer policies and essential procedures
- Volunteer recruitment guidance and templates
- PVG Scheme and Disclosure Scotland guidance
- Safeguarding and lone working resources
- Equality, diversity and inclusion guidance
- Health and safety information
- Volunteer agreements, handbooks and induction resources
- Volunteer support, supervision and recognition
- Sample forms, checklists and practical templates
We’ve also reviewed a number of our sample documents to ensure they continue to reflect current legislation, guidance and good practice, making it easier for organisations to recruit and support volunteers with confidence.
