Volunteering Policy and Guidelines

Comhlamh Code of Good Practice

A Code of Good Practice for Sending organisations has been developed by the Comhlamh Volunteering Options working group. This sets out the responsibilities of Irish-based organisations that arrange volunteer placements.

Signing up to the Comlamh Code of Good Practice shows that an organisation supports its messages.

The Volunteer Charter sets out seven principles that aim to encourage responsible, responsive international volunteering.

All international Camara volunteers are required to sign up to the Volunteer Charter to confirm that they are committed to these principles. Click on the link below to view a copy of the Volunteer Charter
