I am currently putting together a work booklet for young volunteers and the ins and outs of volunteering in the world of work one thing I'm (sort of) stuck on, is regarding code of conduct in relation to personal hygiene and dress code as anyone got - or direct me online to - any worksheets relating to these topics which i could use - they need to be sheets which young people complete to show their understanding of the subject i know there are quite a few of us on here who teach, train people, in management etc etc any help gratefully received

One of the big points that is made both in volunteer training and volunteer management is that the only difference between volunteering and employment is payment. Professional standards are still required, especially since many people do it to gain experience for employment. If anyone thinks they can just goof off and do whatever they feel like because they're volunteers, they're mistaken. Equally, if organisations think they can palm off all the crappy jobs to the volunteers, they're equally mistaken. They're not going to get many volunteers if the first thing any volunteers are asked to do is to clean out the toilets. So basically, when it comes to codes of conduct, there really is no difference in standards apart from payment. Naturally, there will be some leeway with regard to absence since volunteers may have other obligations at a certain time, but even then, they should be expected to notify you as an employee would. I have some resources, but I'm not sure if they're still available online. I'll check that out for you. |

bill that would be fantastic thank you ![]() yep the difference is the payment side of things BUT we are doin this because of the nature of the work we are in (youth work) and volunteers (and even some staff) are comin in to work with love bites, inappropriate dress, poor hygiene etc etc - not good professionalism for the work we do hence devising a workbooklet for people to complete we are also getting volunteers involved in taking part in day to day activities and undertaking projects within our work so they are not just given the rubbish jobs - this will give them not just confidence but credability in the work they do if you have anything - which isnt online - PM me and ill give you my email addy ![]() |
