Volunteering

CAS recognises individuals values and strengthen and extend their participation and contribution to the social, economic, environmental aspect of their lifes.

CAS uses Volunteers and Sessional Workers for the bulk of its projects and activities. It also recognises the lack of experience and skills within the community and the need of volunteering in order to acquire skills, knowledge and experience and use these potential for the development and delivery of its services. As a result, CAS ensures that Volunteers are trained to the standard whereby services are delivered effectively and efficiently.

Volunteers go through an induction and a compulsory programme covering areas such as:
� Communication and general office skills
� Client/services users care skills
� Health and safety,
� Equal opportunity and good practice
� Confidentiality
� Effective call handling and listening skills
� Many more skills corresponding to individual area of interest
� Volunteers are all CRB checked
