LONE VOLUNTEERING
It is not recommended that you volunteer alone, ideally you will volunteer in pairs. If you
volunteer alone for any period of time, at any time, you must follow
the procedures below:

There are some precautions you need to take to reduce the risks of
volunteering alone:

 Inform your coordinator and any other relevant person about
your movements (where you are going, whom you are meeting) and keep them
informed of last-minute changes.

 Carry a mobile phone and keep it charged.
 If you anticipate problems for any reason, discuss it with your coordinator. If they are
not available, ask to speak with someone else. If no one is available, do not continue
with your plans.

 Make sure that whoever you live with knows when you are due home. If you live
alone, arrange to contact someone when you return home. Make sure these contacts
knows where you are going, who you are meeting, has an ETA (estimated time of
arrival) and knows who to contact and raise the alarm if you do not check in.
