A practical look at how you can remove barriers within your organisation to make your volunteer recruitment process more accessible.
Reasonable adjustments are ways in which we can change our working environment or arrangements to make sure what we do is as accessible and inclusive as possible. From members of staff and volunteers to service users, these changes should remove disadvantages at all levels.
But how do we get started, and what can we do to ensure we’re making our services truly accessible?
Join us for this special, practical session that will focus on how inclusive volunteer recruitment and onboarding can help organisations remove barriers, broaden participation and create positive experiences from the very first interaction.
We will look at how volunteering opportunities, recruitment processes and induction activities can unintentionally exclude disabled and neurodivergent volunteers, and share practical ways to make volunteering more accessible and welcoming.
The session will also explore how thoughtful onboarding and ongoing support can help volunteers feel confident, valued and able to contribute in ways that work for them.
