Revised National Occupational Standards for the Management of Volunteers have been published by the UK Workforce Hub.
The Standards were developed for anyone who manages volunteers, including Voluntary and Community organisations in the recruitment, selection, training and development of volunteer managers.
Sandra Adair, Assistant Director with the Volunteer Development Agency, whose team was involved with the review steering group said "We are delighted that the review of the National Occupational Standards for Managing Volunteers is now complete. Volunteer Development Agency training for volunteer managers is based on these standards, demonstrating the importance that the Agency places on ensuring that those with responsibility for supporting volunteers get the best possible information and training to enable them to carry out their role. These standards raise the profile of the volunteer manager’s role highlighting the need for specific knowledge, skills and professionalism."
