Volunteero and Myrtos Consultancy have published their Lunch and Learn recorded session, “Dispelling Fears and Misconceptions Around Volunteers with Criminal Records”.
The session aims to give volunteer managers more confidence when it comes to recruiting volunteers who have a criminal record. Esther Champion, founder of Myrtos Consultancy, covers:
- understanding appropriate terminology
- understanding different types of convictions (spent vs unspent)
- understanding DBS checks and the law
- understanding why volunteering is beneficial for reducing reoffending
