Training & Support for Volunteer Roles:

At Safer Places we offer a fantastic training and support package to our volunteers, including an induction, regular one-to-ones with your line manager, agreed volunteer expenses, and access to our internal training programmes.

For volunteering opportunities that involve supporting survivors we provide you with the required training to provide you with the skills and confidence to do the role safely.

We are proud of the professionalism and expertise of our teams and believe strongly in using our charitable funds to invest in people. Due to this commitment, we ask that our volunteers are able to work with us for ideally at least six months, so we can make sure we are using our charitable funds wisely to benefit victims and survivors.

Please note that our internal training programmes are open to all volunteer roles - except for student counsellor placements. This is because students are already receiving structured training and supervision as part of their placement requirements. Our internal programmes are designed to complement the experience of our general volunteer team. We truly appreciate the valuable role our student counsellors play and thank you for your understanding.
