Statutory & Mandatory Training Area
Why do I need to do training and what do I need to do?
Great question! Even as a charity, we have a legal duty to ensure that our volunteers, committee members and trustees all have the relevant training for their roles. Further to this there is also Mandatory training that is required as part of the policy and procedure.
This training enables you to have the understanding, tools and access to the right information but also equips you with more confidence in doing your role.
The Charity Commission (our governing body) sets out strict regulations for us to follow to ensure we comply with legislation.
As volunteers, we want you to be equipped with what you need but also feel confident in your role. For example, if you have a safeguarding incident, we want you to feel confident in how to respond and report it to our charity.
To the left (on desktop) or below (on mobile is a video explaining what you need to do and how to navigate the training. Please watch this short video before you get started.
