Volunteering policies

We take confidentiality seriously. Both yours and the disabled people we support. We should all take steps to make sure that information, online and in print, stays confidential.

This policy will help you make sure personal information is kept safe.

We hold a lot of information about our customers, staff and about you, as volunteers with us. We all have a responsibility to keep data safe, and our data security policy sets out how we will do this.

Everyone should be treated fairly. And no one should be subjected to harassment or bullying. It’s the minimum we should all be able to expect.

This policy explains how we make sure everyone is treated with dignity.

This policy will help you understand what is expected if you will be driving one of our vehicles, or driving a customer in your own vehicle. 

We expect everyone to be viewed equally, regardless of their ability, gender, race, religion or background.

This policy helps ensure everyone connected with Leonard Cheshire receives fair and equal treatment.

Keeping people safe is fundamental to what we do.

You’ll be provided with the relevant training when you volunteer to make sure you can carry out your role safely.

Sometimes our volunteer roles involve volunteering on your own in the community. This policy sets out how to stay safe whilst lone working.

Volunteers are essential to enable us to support disabled people. This policy sets out how we involve volunteers at Leonard Cheshire.
