Guest Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 We have recently had an unpaid volunteer start helping at the pre-school on occasion when she is able and I wondered if she has to complete a PPP as she isn't a member of staff? We've never had anyone be kind enough to volunteer before, so a bit unsure! Thanks Quote
diesel10 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 She would need to have all the necessary staffing checks. If she's not a parent, I would get her the complete health questionnaire, DBS etc. Quote
lsp Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I would do everything that I would do for a paid member of staff (except pay them), including obtaining references. Quote
finleysmaid Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 well since I don't appear to know what a practitioner personal profile is don't think I can help!!!! 2 Quote
zigzag Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 well since I don't appear to know what a practitioner personal profile is don't think I can help!!!! Well thank goodness it's not just me!! 1 Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Well thank goodness it's not just me!! Nor me - I was hoping someone would come and enlighten me! I think lsp is right - just treat them like an employee: references, DBS, good induction, reading (and signing to say they've read) policies etc. How lovely to have a volunteer! Quote
lashes2508 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Yes as said above , we do this with lol our volunteers Quote
lsp Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Oops - just assumed it was a 'staff file / record / induction'?? Apologies if wrong. Quote
Guest Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks all, we've got the DBS, induction etc, just occurred to me that we hadn't done a PPP when the census with staff details came through. Quote
lynned55 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 So could you explain what a PPP is? I just assumed it was personal contact/medical details kept on staff? Quote
