National Standards Deep Dive - Standard 6

Gain an understanding of Standard 6 of the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement: Volunteer safety and wellbeing is protected, and learn how to implement it in your organisation.

Standard 6 outlines that the health, safety and wellbeing of volunteers is protected and volunteers understand their rights and responsibilities.

This is achieved by ensuring:

• Effective working relationships with employees, and between volunteers, are facilitated.
• Organisations and groups meet their legal and ethical obligations to protect volunteers from harm.
• Processes are in place to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of volunteers in their capacity as volunteers, including relevant insurances.
• Volunteers understand and have access to complaints procedures.
• Complaints, concerns and safety incidents are analysed to identify causes and inform continuous improvement.

Join us as we take a deep dive into Standard 6 whilst providing pragmatic ways to meet this standard in your volunteer program and organisation.
