A policy is a guiding statement or document that indicates the position your organization takes, capturing a value or belief. Your policy is that plan of action, and often includes specific steps, procedures, or methods. Developed in concert with your senior management team, your volunteer program’s policies will state boundaries (like acceptable and unacceptable safety procedures) and explain how transgressions will be addressed.
