Volunteer Code of Practice: Voluntary, Public & Private Sector organisations that believe they currently fulfil the requirements of the code of practice should carefully read the document and consider whether, if asked, they could provide evidence do show that they are consistently meeting the code. If they are satisfied that this is the case, they should sign two copies of the document - one copy for their own records and one copy to send to the Volunteer Centre.

Forward Together: As Community Planning Partners and public service providers, we recognise the valuable contribution which volunteers and voluntary groups make both to public services and to community life in West Dunbartonshire. In its Volunteering Strategy of 2004, the Scottish Executive set out its vision for Volunteering and stated that:

“Action to support volunteering is action to tackle poverty and disadvantage. Action to support volunteering is action to support community activity and build respect for others.”

This Policy sets out our commitment as public service providers to support volunteering and voluntary activity in West Dunbartonshire. An important part of this commitment is about ensuring that everyone who wishes to can take part. We will give particular attention to the needs of minority groups and to anyone whose voice is not easily heard. We have developed accompanying guidance on good practice in working with volunteers and with voluntary and community groups which is available on partner organisations’ websites.
