Volunteer engagement policy

Information assurance

All supervisors must ensure that during induction volunteers are aware of our confidentiality and data protection policies. Volunteers must receive appropriate training, for example information assurance training.

A privacy notice provides information about why and how we process personal data about individuals. The privacy notice must be provided at the time that the information is obtained.  It can be provided in a number of formats such as:

  • in writing
  • electronically
  • orally (face to face when speaking to an individual)
  • through signage such as posters
