ESV Resources
The national ESV Network has been set up and is run by not-for-profit employee volunteering specialist Works4U. It has been set up to support the increase in levels and impact of ESV work across the UK.
Works4U will be producing, over time, a full pack of useful resources for any organisation interested in carrying out ESV work. Organisations are free to download and use as they see fit:
Blank/unbranded Risk Assessment for carrying out ESV projects - this is a real risk assessment that is used and, when completed, shared with business clients.
ESV Statement explaining why businesses need to pay for ESV projects - to send to businesses if they do not understand why there is a charge for ESV, e.g. "Why I am paying to volunteer?".
ESV Manager Job Description Template - A draft template to help put together a job description and advert.
ESV Workshop: Setting up an ESV Programme - comprehensive guide to what you need to consider to set up a sustainable ESV programme.
