The resources in this section have been specifically designed for a small voluntary sector employer that is following minimum statutory requirements. They shouldn’t be taken as legal advice.
The content within this section is available to NCVO members only – members will need to sign in order to access the pages below. If you are not currently a member, find out more about NCVO membership.
Clear and comprehensive HR policies are an essential part of a well-run organisation. By setting out an organisation’s principles and procedures, they make sure that employees know what is expected of them and that managers know the processes to follow in certain situations.
Our Trusted Supplier WorkNest has produced a set of example policies, templates and guidance notes for NCVO member organisations that have a handful of staff.
These example policies, templates and guidance notes should be used as a starting point for reviewing or producing your own policies. Some of these sections contain example policies that can be downloaded and adapted for your organisation. Other sections are more bespoke depending on the organisation so we have provided guidance notes on how to write a policy. As with all HR policies, you should make them consistent with your terms and conditions of employment, and your organisation’s culture and aspirations.
