As an organisation we will; offer support, respect volunteers as equal members of the staff team but not expect them to take on the responsibilities of a full-time worker. Provide a nominated supervisor from the staff team who will have responsibility for organising supervision sessions at least once a month.

The supervisor will also be responsible for following up any issues raised and liaise with other staff members.
Offer access to wider training and keep volunteers informed of any training opportunities that arise. Wherever possible the organisation will meet the costs of the training. Offer expenses to volunteers for travel costs and any additional expenses incurred during sessions.
