This session will equip volunteer-involving organisations with the tools and information they need to safely involve volunteers with criminal convictions.

Delivered in partnership with the Probation Service, the workshop will cover:

• Awareness of potential barriers to volunteering for people with convictions
• Information and 'myth-busting' regarding disclosure of spent and/or unspent convictions
• How volunteer managers can create a supportive and nurturing environment for volunteers with convictions
• The practical steps organisations should take to safely accommodate volunteers with criminal convictions

In accordance with priorities championed by the Cheshire West Vision for Volunteering (2025-2030), this is a great opportunity to look at new ways of expanding the reach of your volunteering programme, and its social impact.

Any staff or volunteers are welcome to attend.

Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be available throughout.
