Top Legal Issues in Managing Volunteers

Justice Connect’s Not-for-profit Law program specialises in providing legal help and support to not-for-profit organisations. As a charity themself, they understand the issues organisations face and know just how time consuming and confusing complying with legal obligations can be.

This FREE 3-hour in depth, interactive workshop will explore the following topics, with small breakout sessions to workshop legal issues, discuss scenarios and problem solve as a group.

This workshop will look at:

• Defining the volunteer relationship
• Equal opportunity in volunteer recruitment
• The ‘duty of care’ your organisation owes its volunteers
• Work, health, and safety duties
• Child safety requirements 
• Legal responsibility for the actions of volunteers
• Risk management processes 
• Reviewing or ending the volunteer relationship
• Top tips and additional resources

This is not a reoccurring workshop, and may not be offered again. Register early to avoid missing out. 

If you are completing your Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Program, this workshop is worth 2 CPD points.
