The Volunteer Coordination and Safeguarding Policy 2024 provides a robust, standardized framework for managing the vital network of community volunteers who assist with council-led initiatives.
This policy outlines the formal registration process, code of conduct expectations, and clear operational boundaries for all voluntary participants across the parish. It mandates enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearances for any individuals participating in programs that involve direct contact with children or vulnerable adults.
The document also details the comprehensive insurance coverages provided by the council for authorized volunteer activities, including community litter picks and environmental restoration projects.
Local organizers are required to conduct documented safety briefings and distribute appropriate high-visibility gear before commencing any public work. Implementing this policy protects our dedicated volunteers while ensuring community programs are delivered safely, ethically, and transparently.
