By now you should all have received, via email or in the post, a copy of the Department’s newly introduced Code of Conduct.
It’s great news that volunteers are included within the Code, a true recognition of your significant contribution to the work we are all involved in.
The Code of Conduct applies to all employees, contractors and volunteers. Staff and unions were consulted to ensure our culture and values are included within the new Code, which has been written to reflect the wider state sector standards.
Please familiarise yourselves with the new Code, as it applies to us all. Within it, there are sample lists of behaviours that are expected of employees and volunteers.
Thanks for reading over the new Code and don’t hesitate to contact your Volunteer Co-ordinator if you have any queries or have not received your copy.
Your news, views, feedback and contributions for future editions of CorrVolunteer are more than welcome.
