Your Role

Inducting Volunteers

[Link: This checklist] supports welcoming new volunteers and setting clear, shared expectations. It is a guide, not a form, and does not require signatures.

 

Supporting Respectful Behaviour

Volunteering works best when everyone feels safe, respected, and included. Group Leaders play an important role in setting a positive tone.

 

What respectful behaviour looks like

We ask volunteers to:

• Treat others with courtesy and respect
• Follow safety instructions
• Work cooperatively with the group
• Respect the park, wildlife and cultural heritage
• Listen to feedback and guidance

 

If concerns arise

Most issues can be resolved early through calm, respectful conversation.

If behaviour affects safety, wellbeing or the group:

• Pause the activity if needed
• Speak with the volunteer privately and clearly
• Refer to shared expectations and safety guidance
• Offer support or alternatives where appropriate

 

If the concern continues, contact your Contact Ranger for support. Rangers can guide next steps and, where needed, support formal processes.
