Welcome to the Barking and Dagenham Volunteer Bureau. There are many reasons why our volunteers have joined us on their journey through life and we hope you will get as much out of this experience as the people you will be helping. As part of the BDVB extended family we are here to offer you support and guidance as well as appreciating the time and effort you put in.
As a volunteer you can expect:
- Volunteering to be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
- To be able to develop your area of work with the help of good support and supervision
- To know who is responsible for your support and supervision and to have regular access to this person
- To be able to play a part in the decision-making process of your organisation and to have your needs and interests represented fully
- To have a clear picture of the tasks you are being asked to perform and of the responsibilities that go with these tasks
- To be protected against any risks which may arise from your voluntary work
- Not to suffer financial loss through undertaking voluntary work
- Not to be used to replace previously paid staff
- That the relationship between volunteers and paid staff is complementary and mutually beneficial
- To have the right to join a trade union relevant to the work in which you are involved
