All SCA members have basic rights outlined in our constitution, copies of which are available on request. These include the right to stand for office on the Executive Committee, and to vote at Elections and General Meetings.

We will

• Not discriminate against you on any of the grounds set out in our Equal Opportunities Policy.
• Enable you to choose the sort of voluntary work you do, within the limits of availability and ability.
• Give you a clear description of your work, and consult you over any proposed changes that may affect your work.
• Provide appropriate training.
• Endeavour to ensure that you do not have to work in unsafe or unhealthy conditions
• Inform you of the level of insurance cover you have when working on any project.
• Not pressure you into taking on responsibilities which you do not want, or which you feel you cannot fulfil.
• Tell you to whom you are responsible, and enable you to approach them or the SCA office staff to talk through any concerns.
• Not require you to perform extra tasks beside those you originally agreed to.
• Keep you informed of SCA activities and of development and change in the organisation.
• Help you to make a complaint that will be investigated by the Executive Committee if you feel you have been mistreated within SCA.

You Will

• Remember that you have made a commitment to SCA and the client(s) you work with.
• Turn up when you have agreed to, and give warning if you will be unavailable when you are expected.
• Respect confidentiality.
• Not discriminate against others.
• Not assume a responsibility that you know you will be unable to fulfil.
• Maintain any standards of conduct specified by a particular project.
• Volunteers should not be left out of pocket by volunteering. SCA funds are very limited - we will reimburse unavoidable expenses if possible, but it is absolutely essential that they are agreed in advance with a member of SCA staff.
