Are you confused about the new GDPR (data protection) laws? Do you know what your organisation needs to do? HVA is hosting a free GDPR workshop for any charities, community groups or social enterprises that operate in Hastings.
In this session we will explore the sort of documents and procedures organisations should have in place to help recruit, support, retain and manage their volunteers.
This can be an emotional course and a willingness to share with others is important. It is not necessary to reveal personal issues but the attendees must be willing to engage with exercises.
The aims: To explore our own resilience to emotional ‘stress’ triggers and methods of minimising the impact of emotional responses.
• To share our own backgrounds and current stress factors
• To understand why we respond to stress
• To practice tools to help reduce stress
• To know where to turn to for more advice and information.
Course Aims
This course is aimed at voluntary organisations and volunteers to ensure they are aware of lone working risks and tips on how to avoid them.
The course will cover:
• The importance of a risk assessment
• Recognising risks for volunteers
• Safe lone working
• Home visits
• Recognising the warning signs of aggression
• De-escalating and defusing aggressive situations
• Knowing what resources exist
• Reporting possible safeguarding concerns
Target Audience:
Anyone who works on their own, without direct supervision or support at any time.
