About Gloucestershire Lifestyles: Policies

Environmental Policy

At Gloucestershire Lifestyles we are keen to ensure that our activities are not detrimental to our environment. Our environmental policy sets out guidelines for our staff and members on such issues as recycling, re-use, responsible travel and encouraging the exchange of unwanted items.

Volunteer Policy

Gloucestershire Lifestyles relies on the help of volunteers to carry out its valuable work. Therefore, we are committed to ensuring that the rights and expectations of these volunteers are met and that our members are protected. Our volunteer policy sets out the principles of volunteering, our recruitment procedures, support and supervision guidelines and our code of conduct.

Confidentiality and Data Protection Policy

Gloucestershire Lifestyles respects the individual’s right to confidentiality and informed consent for the sharing of personal information. We are a Data Controller under the Data Protection Act 1998. We hold information for the purposes specified in our notification No. Z7699440 made to the Data Protection Commissioner.

 

All members, volunteers and funders are issued with full copies of all our policies and can also view them at our offices by appointment. External individuals wishing to obtain copies of our policies can do so by sending a SAE and cheque for £10 to our head office. External organisations should apply directly to head office with their request and a charge will be made reflecting the costs of production associated with these policies.
