Policy for Working with Volunteers
1. Introduction
The CCG recognises and values the role of volunteers and acknowledges that they can make a valuable contribution to the work of the CCGs through their time, energy and skills. Volunteers potentially add value to the experience of service users/patients and their carers and can support staff in carrying out their roles. The contribution of volunteers is consistent with principles of social inclusion and of community engagement. Equally volunteering can also bring benefits to volunteers themselves by improving skills and confidence and developing interests. This policy aims to set out the CCGs approach to working with volunteers.
1.1 Status This policy is a Corporate policy.
1.2 Purpose and scope
The purpose of this policy is:
To acknowledge the value of the contribution made by volunteers
To establish clear principles for the involvement of volunteers within the CCG
To clarify the role of volunteers and the relationship between volunteers and staff within the CCG
To confirm the commitment of the CCG in involving volunteers in its work
To establish a framework for recruitment and support of volunteers
2. Definitions The following terms are used in this document: The Department of Health’s definition of a volunteer is: “Someone who commits time and energy for the benefit of others, who does so freely, through personal choice and without expectation of financial reward, except for payment of out of pocket expenses”.
Policy for Working with Volunteers v1 4
3. Working with Volunteers
3.1 Principles 3.1.1 Volunteering in the CCG is undertaken for a wide variety of reasons involving
holistic personal development, reflective learning, skills development and to influence the work of the CCG. A range of volunteering opportunities may be available and although this is not an exhaustive list these could include:
Focus groups on specific topics
Shadowing a team or individual to gain experience of their work
Active involvement in specific projects
Members of committees, panels and groups
Expert patient programme volunteers
Assurance visits to health care providers
3.1.2 This policy adopts four principles fundamental to volunteering as identified by the Government Code of Practice (1998) which are choice, diversity, reciprocity and recognition.
3.1.3 The CCG supports and encourages the work of individual volunteers and voluntary organisations for the benefit of patients, users of services and their relatives. However, volunteers are not intended to be used to substitute the work of paid staff. Instead they can improve and enhance the level of service provided by the CCG by offering their time, skills and expertise.
3.1.4 The CCG is committed to developing, encouraging and supporting volunteer involvement in our work wherever appropriate. In so doing it is clearly recognised that the roles of volunteers will complement and not replace the roles of paid staff or cover formal health or social care roles. Volunteers should not carry out roles that are primarily concerned with personal care (e.g. bathing, assisting with use of the toilet). When new volunteer roles are being developed all interested parties should be consulted, including trade union representatives where necessary. 3.1.5 The CCG believes that no volunteer should be ‘out-of-pocket’ as a result of voluntary activity carried out for the CCG and volunteers will be actively encouraged to have their expenses reimbursed. Expenses will be paid in accordance with existing CCG arrangements, in line with NHS rates. 3.1.6 The tasks to be carried out by volunteers will be clearly defined so that both paid staff and volunteers are sure about their respective roles and responsibilities. The value of volunteers is in complementing the work of paid staff, not substituting for it.
Policy for Working with Volunteers v1 5
3.1.6 All appropriate volunteers will need to go through a vetting process and all satisfactory checks will need to be received before they can commence their volunteering role, this includes evidence which confirms the right to live and/or work in the UK, standard Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, occupational health checks and references. 3.1.7 Volunteers are expected to abide by the policies and procedures of the CCG and will be shown how to access these. All appropriate volunteers will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement and declare any conflict of interest. 3.1.8 Any breach of this policy, or other CCG policies, by the volunteer will result in an automatic removal of them as a volunteer. 3.2 Rights and Responsibilities of Volunteers 3.2.1 The CCG recognises that volunteers should:
Be given an induction to the CCG and the service which is appropriate to the type and duration of their activity
Have a clear understanding of the role expected and receive relevant training in order to perform the tasks as required.
Not to be used to undertake activity that is, or has been, undertaken by paid staff
Have a clear understanding of who will be supervising them and who to contact if there are any problems or queries or if they wish to discuss any matters concerning their volunteering
Carry out their activity in safe working conditions and in accordance with Health and Safety requirements
Be insured under NHS arrangements
Be reimbursed for expenses incurred whilst volunteering, as agreed in advance with their named contact.
Be given feedback on their performance as a volunteer
Have the opportunity to give feedback to the CCG based on their experience of their voluntary activity.
3.2.2 The CCG expects that its volunteers will:
Enter into a volunteer agreement with the CCG
Carry out specified tasks to the best of their ability, in ways which support the aims, values and standards of the CCG
Do their best to volunteer at times as mutually agreed with the CCG and give reasonable notice if they are unable to achieve this.
Follow the CCGs policies and procedures
Wear appropriate forms of identification if required
Attend training where required to do so.
Policy for Working with Volunteers v1 6
Ensure their insurance company is advised of their volunteer role 3.3 Equality, Diversity and Human Rights 3.3.1 The CCG is committed to equality of opportunity diversity and human right,
this commitment also extends to our volunteers. We welcome everyone from our community as a volunteer and will not discriminate against our volunteers on the grounds of age, disability, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, gender, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation, domestic circumstances, social and employment status, HIV status, gender reassignment, political affiliation or trade union membership. Furthermore, we value difference and recognise the value that the different cultures, skills, outlooks and experiences of our volunteers bring to the organisation.
3.3.2 Behaviour that contradicts the letter or spirit of our equality, diversity and
human rights strategy will not be tolerated. Volunteers will be required to abide by the CCG’s equality, diversity and human rights strategy. Volunteer’s will be required to leave the CCG if they refuse to do so or breach the principles of the strategy.
3.4 Recruitment and Selection 3.4.1 Volunteers are recruited in accordance with NHS Employment Check
Standards. All volunteers will be asked to complete a Volunteer Application form – see Appendix 1. All potential volunteers will be required to supply identity documents to confirm their identity.
3.4.2 Reasonable adjustments will be considered for potential volunteers with a
disability. 3.4.3 Volunteers will be required to make an Occupational Health declaration. 3.4.4 Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) Exemption Order, volunteers
are required to declare all previous convictions to the Recruitment Department. This information will be confidential and will not necessary prejudice the volunteer being accepted for voluntary work.
3.4.5 Once all necessary checks have been undertaken successfully the volunteer
will be asked to sign a volunteer agreement before undertaking any voluntary work – see Appendix 2.

Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (as amended) helps rehabilitated ex-offenders back into work by allowing them not to declare criminal convictions after the rehabilitation period set by the Court has elapsed and the convictions become ‘spent’. During the rehabilitation period, convictions are referred to as ‘unspent’ convictions and must be declared to employers.
The NHS aims to promote equality of opportunity and is committed to treating all applicants for positions fairly and on merit regardless of race, gender, marital status, religion or belief, disability, sexual orientation and age. The NHS undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against applicants on the basis of a criminal conviction or other information declared. If you are applying for a post involving access to persons in receipt of health services, your offer of employment may be subject to a satisfactory criminal record check. Failure to reveal information relating to any convictions could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment.
Individuals applying for positions which involve ‘regulated activity’ are required to have an enhanced criminal record check and, where appropriate to the role, this check will also include any information which may be held against the barred lists for working with children and/or adults.
The full definition of ‘regulated activity’ is defined in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, as amended by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 which came into force on 10 September 2012.
Are you currently bound over, or do you have any unspent convictions issued by a Court or Court Martial in the UK or any other country?
Yes No
If yes, please supply details below;
Policy for Working with Volunteers v1 18
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2013
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2013
The position you are applying for has been identified as being an 'eligible position' under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 [the Exceptions Order] and, in certain circumstances, the Police Act 1997. As such, it meets the eligibility criteria for a standard or an enhanced disclosure to be requested through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Both standard and enhanced DBS disclosure certificates contain information about any convictions, cautions (including reprimands and final warnings) which are not 'protected' as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions Order) 1975 (as amended). Enhanced disclosures may also include other relevant police information where this is deemed relevant to the position you are applying for.
Please be aware that the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1198) made amendment to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 to provide that certain spent convictions and cautions will become protected when specific conditions are met. Protected convictions and cautions will not be disclosed in a DBS check, and employers cannot ask for information about protected convictions or cautions, or take these into account when considering you for appointment.
Before you complete the question(s) below please read guidance and criteria for the filtering of these convictions and cautions which can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website at:
www.gov.uk/government/organisations/disclosure-and-barring-service
Where the position has, in addition, been identified as a regulated activity under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act (2006) (as amended by the Protection of Freedom's Act 2012) an enhanced DBS disclosure will include information which is held on the Children's and/or Adults barred list(s), as applicable to the position. Please note that you do not need to tell us about convictions, cautions, warnings or reprimands which are deemed 'protected' under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 as amended by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2013 - see notes above. You also are not required to tell us about parking offences.
