Our Quality Mark/Volunteer Organisers Training is tailored to meet the needs of people working closely with volunteers. We aim to help you enhance your awareness of best practice and safe working practices.
Training is formed of six modules, which take place over three days, and the training is designed to allow time to generate or amend policies from templates or working documents during the sessions and create evidence to complete the Volunteering Quality Mark should the attendees wish to do so resulting everything people need to know to complete the Quality Mark by the end of Day 3.
We have upcoming training dates in both Blackburn with Darwen and Preston.
