Good Practice Guide

Available below are links to articles on our new searchable Good Practice Guide that we have called VolunteerWiki that is linked into the practices of the Investing in Volunteers standard and our own excellent Core Skills in Volunteer Management (CSVM) training courses ensuring you have access to the best possible information on the involvement and management of volunteers *.

Our aim is to make VolunteerWiki the “go to” place for volunteer management information. We would very much welcome contributions from other volunteer management professionals who feel that they would like to help build this knowledge base. If you are an experienced volunteer manager and want to apply to become a VolunteerWiki contributor please contact Javier Tejera at javier.tejera@volunteeredinburgh.org.uk.

* The information contained within VolunteerWiki has been developed by Volunteer Edinburgh with support from Volunteer Glasgow.

Although most good practice in involving volunteers translates the world over, throughout VolunteerWiki there are, where appropriate, references to legislation. It is important for users to note that such legislation applies to the United Kingdom and users in other territories should ensure compliance and reference to legislation applicable in their location.
