On 1st April 2024, the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) 2019 Act will be enacted by the Scottish Government. This legislation is applicable to some volunteer involving organisations, particularly those who engage volunteers in the delivery of regulated care services.
This guide will help you to:
- Identify if this new legislation is applicable to you or your organisation.
- Understand what you might need to do to prepare for its implementation.
- Find out more information about the Act, including accessing training.
Whilst the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) 2019 Act applies to health and care settings, volunteers are only within the scope of the legislation in regulated care services.
Further information is available through Volunteer Scotland’s online guide (linked for your convenience).
