Overview
An essential session for those responsible for managing volunteers. This intermediate level course will help you to clarify the legal position in relation to volunteers.
In the session, we will look at some useful Case Law and discuss them in detail. How do you ensure that you are supporting and developing volunteers while avoiding the risk of creating contracts and falling foul of employment law? This course will enable you to understand volunteering and the law in relation to employment law, your duty of care, safeguarding, health and safety, equality and diversity, insurance, and employment benefits.
This is a pro-active workshop, designed to break down the complexities of these regulations and leave you feeling reassured in your responsibilities and management of volunteers.
The course will be run online using Zoom.
