Midlands Social Care is able to offer voluntary positions for people that are looking to gain experience of working in an environment with children and families.

- To introduce you to the work expected of you and the training you need to meet the responsibilities of this role.
- To explain the standards we expect for our services and to encourage and support you to achieve and maintain them;
- To provide a named person who will meet with you regularly to discuss your volunteering and any successes and problems;
- To do our best to help you develop your volunteering role with us.
- To provide adequate training and feedback in support of our policies.
We ask the the volunteer to agree to:
- To help Midlands Social Care to fulfil its services;
- To perform the role to the best of my ability;
- To follow Midlands Social Care’s procedures and standards
- To maintain the confidential information of the organisation and of its families;
