  • treat you and all volunteers equally and fairly
  • provide public liability, personal accident and Trustee indemnity insurance cover as appropriate
  • provide you with a health & safety policy and accident procedure, as appropriate
  • respect you as a volunteer, listen and learn from what you have to say, consistently encouraging two-way communication

In return we ask you to:

  • commit to the necessary training and give us your time
  • be reliable and to let us know in good time if you cannot attend
  • comply with agreed standards
  • be professional and loyal to RDA
  • be fair to those around you
