Investing in Volunteers (IiV) is the UK quality standard for all organisations which involve volunteers in their work. By being assessed against the standard, your organisation can publicly demonstrate its commitment to good practice and receive a National Award for quality in volunteer management.
The following outlines the different ways you can use the standard:
- Investing in Volunteers offers you a framework of 6 Quality Areas for effective volunteer management- an invaluable resource for volunteer involving organisations! Click here to download a copy of the Investing in Volunteers Standard.
