Volunteering - The MCofS Code of Practice

Volunteers guide and support the work of MCofS paid officers, providing corporate and strategic direction, expert knowledge, experience and hands-on resources. Volunteers are often critical to how stakeholders, the public and members perceive the MCofS and its work.

The volunteer relationship is one of trust and mutual understanding. The MCofS is committed to giving volunteers the best experience possible and in return makes certain expectations of how volunteers conduct themselves.

This Code of Practice has been developed by staff and volunteers. It provides guidance to volunteers regarding the expectations of the MCofS, and what volunteers may expect from the MCofS and its paid staff. The Code of Practice was approved by the Executive on 13 March 2008 for implementation and is avaiable for download here.
