    This event is being organised by Fife Voluntary Action
    Costs
    This event is free to attend but to encourage attendance and try and ensure a good turnout to benefit all delegates, we will charge a non-attendance fee of £25.00 per delegate. By submitting a booking for this event you agree to pay this fee for those delegates who have places booked but do not attend.

    Cancellations can be received up to 5 working days ahead of the event, thus avoiding non-attendance fees. A cancellation will only be valid if we have confirmed it with you. You can send somebody else in place of a booked delegate without incurring a non-attendance fee.


    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    We asked people who attended these sessions earlier in the year, what they liked most about our training - here are some of their comments:

    • “Very welcoming environment & knowledgeable staff”
    • “Good discussions. Focus on what is important to protect volunteers and groups”
    • “I liked the ability to hear other people’s thoughts and ideas about the topic”
    • “The discussions and break out rooms which give food for thought.”
    • “Good pace, interactive, relevant, group work got us thinking about our own practice. Examples were helpful too.”
    • “Key points re risk assessment highlighted. Policies we should have in place.”

    Course Content

    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.
