Policies for registration

1. Volunteer Wellington will register not-for-profit (NFP) groups/agencies/organisations, but not individuals, offering positions for volunteers, provided that such groups adopt sound volunteer involvement management practices. “Sound volunteer involvement management practices” will include policies for volunteer involvement, risk management policies, role descriptions, training, supervision, support, recognition and reimbursement of agreed out-of-pocket expenses.
   
   
2. NFP Agencies must adhere to the 1994 Human Rights Act, the 2020 Privacy Act and the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and any subsequent additions and amendments for registration with Volunteer Wellington.
   
   
3. NFP Agencies wanting access to Volunteer Wellington’s services will be requested to pay a yearly registration fee. This is set annually by the Board.
   
   
4. It is the responsibility of NFP member organisations to formulate their own insurance and volunteer expenses policies. Volunteer Wellington does not accept responsibility in this area.
   
   
5. The decision to appoint a volunteer is the responsibility of the NFP member organisation. Volunteer Wellington does not accept responsibility for the performance of the volunteer(s) referred or for the accuracy of the information supplied by the volunteer(s).
   
   
6. NFP member organisations need to have their own interview selection procedures in place and are required to inform the referred volunteer/s and Volunteer Wellington of their decision for any placement or otherwise of the referred volunteer(s).
