Within the council's learning and development policy,
staff are able to volunteer for two days a year as part of
individual or team development. Encouragement is also given for
involvement in public service duties such as school governor,
magistrate and prison visitor and appropriate time is given to
enable this. Information is also given about opportunities for
volunteering in own time. The development of a staff charitable
working group brings together the benefits of networking and
sharing of good practice for any employee who wishes to get
involved in any aspect voluntary activity.
Volunteering is accepted as now truly woven into our business
and our staff care package. With a growing number of volunteers
involved in public service delivery and not just lip service paid
to work-life balance, we have a sound basis to gain further future
benefits from promoting volunteering.
