Mutual Agreement
Bath Festivals - Mutual Expectation Document / Code of Conduct
Working together
When you volunteer with us our relationship is based on trust, mutual understanding and a common goal. There is no formal contract.
Whatever you choose to do as a volunteer you can be certain that you’re making a valuable contribution to the organisation. It’s not just your time that you’re giving, it’s your skills, experience, local knowledge and enthusiasm.
In order to work effectively together
Bath Festivals will:
- respect volunteers as an important part of the organisation
- will give volunteers training and support documents so that they know what they are doing and can do it safely
- will tell each volunteer who they will be supported by and accountable too
- will keep personal information confidential
- ensure volunteers are covered in Bath Festivals’ insurance policy (in the Public and Employees Liability Cover) whilst undertaking work approved and authorised by Bath Festivals
- will treat volunteers fairly and in line with the equality and diversity policy
As a volunteer for Bath Festivals I agree:
- to do the tasks I have agreed to do as well as I can
- that as a representative of Bath Festivals I will treat all those I deal with respectfully
- to follow any policies and instructions used by Bath Festivals
- to accept support and guidance for my role and cooperate with those responsible if there are any problems that need resolving
- to let the Event Manager & Volunteer Co-ordinator, know about any circumstances or issues that might affect what I can do, so that support can be offered where possible
- to let the Event Manager & Volunteer Co-ordinator, know if I am unable to volunteer at a time that was agreed as soon as possible so alternative arrangements can be made
