Agenda item

To receive and consider the proposed Volunteer Policy from the Compliance and Environment Officer.

The Committee received a draft Volunteer Policy from the Council’s Operations team and heard the Council currently had approximately eight interested parties.

The policy would apply to all volunteers, not just those supporting the Lake & Country Park. It outlined roles, responsibilities, and health and safety provisions. It did not cover volunteers involved in activities outside the Council’s remit or individuals under the age of 16. A tailored induction would be provided, and reimbursement would be limited to minimal refreshments.

Recommended:

That, the Volunteer Policy be adopted by the town council and reviewed every two years or when any relevant legislation was changed.
