This section includes resources and materials related to the use of volunteers that IAS Services are willing to share with other IASS.
Neither the IASS Network nor CDC are responsible for the content of these resources, but are providing a platform for them to be shared. Please direct any enquiries about any of the resources to the relevant IASS.
In 2015 the IASS Network held a two day workshop to look at the use of volunteers by IAS Services. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together the services from across England with the most experience of using volunteers and provide evidence to inform a national debate. A report was developed from this meeting which has many ideas and resources which IAS Services can use to help develop their own use of volunteers.
