Policies

 

Many organisations are concerned about their legal position in having certain policies and procedures in place. Even if it is not a legal requirement it is often good practice to have them.

 

We have sample policy documents that can be used and adapted for your organisation and we are happy to look at these with you and ensure that you have the correct ones in place.

 

Sample policies are:

 

  • Constitutions
  • Company Limited By Guarantee
  • Equal Opportunities
  • Health & Safety
  • Risk Assessment
  • Grievance
  • Discipline
  • Suggestions/Complaints
  • Maternity, Paternity & Parental Leave
  • Child Protection
  • Vulnerable People
  • Secure Handling, Use and Storage
  • Recruitment of ex offenders
  • Disclosure

 

If you would like to obtain a copy of any of the above policies or would like to discuss what is right for your organisation, please email us at elvon@scvo.org.uk.

 

 

Employing Staff?

 

If your organisation is growing it may come to the point where you are looking at the possibility of employing or taking on additional staff.

 

ELVON are able to assist you with this process. We can do all the administration processes for you, including drawing up and placing the advert, sending out and receiving back the application forms and arranging the interviews. We can also work with you in the issuing of the contract of employment and ensuring you have the correct policies in place. For further information on this, please contact James Bruce.
