Free to attend – no payment is needed.

Non-attendance fee £25.00 per person. This event is free, but to make sure places are not wasted we charge this for anybody who has a place booked and does not come. Cancel up to 5 working days before and there is nothing to pay. You can also send somebody else in your place at any time, with no fee.

You have a moral responsibility to ensure that volunteers are protected from physical, financial, and emotional harm arising from volunteering. This course will support your organisation by ensuring you have the tools and the knowledge to ensure you manage risk effectively.

Included in the course:

  • Potential risks to volunteers
  • Risk identification
  • Risk management processes
  • Monitoring risk
  • Reporting risk
  • Health and Safety
  • Insurance

Who should attend?

Anyone who has, or is expecting to have, responsibility for recruiting or managing volunteers in their organisation. Your organisation should be providing a service in Fife.

In order to offer places to as many organisations as possible, we are only able to offer two places on each date to members of the same organisation. If your organisation would like to send more than 2 people, please get in touch with us to discuss options.

Additional Information

  • Notes from the session will be forwarded to all participants who complete a post-training evaluation form that will be e-mailed to you
