Ending a volunteer agreement/managing concerns

In this section

16.1    Volunteers may end the volunteer agreement at any time by notifying the relevant manager/their delegated representative.

16.2    In some circumstances, the council may have to consider ending a volunteer’s involvement, for example where:

  • there are concerns about a volunteer’s conduct or competence, or
  • ill health prevents the volunteer from being appropriately involved

16.3    Where there are concerns, the volunteer will not be involved in any capacity in any service until the relevant manager/their delegated representative has considered the concerns and discussed them with the volunteer

16.4    After the discussion, the relevant manager/their delegated representative will:

  • decide whether the volunteer’s continued involvement is appropriate, and
  • provide the volunteer with written confirmation of the decision
