writing a policy

things to think about when writing a volunteers policy within your organisation:

 - who has written the rest of the organsiations policies - perhaps with your help they should be the person writing the volunteer policy?

- if you are writing it make sure it is in a similar style to other policies in the organisation so that there is congruence

- make sure that representatives from within the organisation who engage with volunteers are consulted at every stage to ensure ownership and buy in of the policy
