Managing volunteers
A guide for organisations working in the criminal justice system
For volunteering week, we've published our new guide, written in partnership with NCVO, to support voluntary organisations working in the criminal justice system to manage volunteers.
There is a long tradition of organisations working in the criminal justice system involving volunteers in the services they offer. But it's tough for organisations and their volunteers during the pandemic. Organisations are still struggling to access the vital support of volunteers. 28% of organisations we surveyed say that less than half of their volunteers can support them at the moment. It's essential organisations have the support they need to manage and sustain volunteer involvement during the crisis, as we're recovering and beyond.
Written before the pandemic, Managing volunteers is a useful guide to make sure you’re up to date on developing a volunteer programme, recruiting volunteers, and rewarding, recognising and retaining volunteers – essential topics for organisations in the circumstances. There's also key information on health, safety and insurance, and risk assessment.
Use the simple good practice guidelines here to help ensure you’re engaging volunteers well and optimise the potential of your volunteer programmes.
