Legal issues in managing volunteers (full day training seminar)

SOLD OUT: Please note that this seminar is now completely booked and we are unable to take further registrations. We may look to repeat this training in 2014 so please sign up to our e-bulletin to keep informed of upcoming training.

 

Volunteers are a critical part of most NFP community organisations. Whether it’s driving the vehicles, assisting with client needs, providing advice, planting trees or answering phones, the value of volunteers in our sector is immeasurable.

Yet, despite the importance of volunteers to the effective operation of an NFP, few organisations fully understand how the law applies to its volunteers.

This one-day seminar is designed to help participants systematically analyse the ‘life-cycle of a volunteer’, to identify the key legal risks at each stage and to learn simple procedures to minimise or avoid the risks.

The training is designed for volunteer managers as well as anyone who is involved in coordinating volunteers in a NFP organisation.

PilchConnect is a not-for-proft organisation established by PILCH (a Victorian community legal centre) to provide free and low-cost legal assistance to not-for-profit community organisations. The fees charged for the not-for-profit seminar series cover the costs of running the training.

PilchConnect strives to make our seminars accessible to small-medium NFPs, and we appreciate that many organisations have limited resources and rely heavily on the work of volunteers. We considered that a tiered fee structure was fairer to both smaller and large organisations. Most of the organisations that attend PilchConnect seminars will fall into the ‘small' organisation category - for both small and larger organisations we consider that the fees represent excellent value for professional legal information training.

As always we appreciate your feedback. PilchConnect can be contacted by - Email Icon email connect@pilch.org.au or call us on - Phone Icon 03 8636 4400
