A. QGIF strongly recommends that all Agencies have a volunteer register. We suggest that the register includes details such as:-
- Volunteers Name

- Details of training provided, etc.
A. No, the definition of a volunteer is “Any person who works without payment (other than out of pocket expenses) for the Agency and acts under the direction and supervision of the Agency”. The key words of the definition in this instance are “under the direction and supervision of the Agency”. As the person has been engaged because of their skill set and trained in their field of engagement they would fall outside the definition of a volunteer because the Agency has not provided the training and supervision of their services for which they are being engaged.
