Volunteers & the Law

Do you know the legal difference between a volunteer and an employee, or the difference between a volunteer agreement and a contract of employment? Are you aware of the legal obligations to protect your volunteers’ health & Safety or the laws that govern how and when you need to request enhanced Access NI for volunteers? In this session, we will explore the differences between volunteers and employees, the laws that can impact volunteering work, and much more, including legal boundaries, and we will clarify best practice when involving volunteers.
