Managing Risks in your Volunteer Programme
Thursday 24 August 2017, 10am–1pm
Do you worry about your volunteers and volunteer programme? Are you concerned that you may not have thought of all the risks? Do you want to develop processes to minimise the risks? Whether your organisation has an established volunteer programme or is starting up, this training is for you.
This half-day training will cover:
· Principles of risk assessment and management
· Benefits and challenges of assessing and managing risks
· The key risks associated with volunteer programmes and how to manage these
· Legal risks that organisations should be aware of when working with volunteers
· An ‘open space’ for participants to share risks that they are facing and discuss solutions with the group.
