3.11 Performance and recognition


Volunteers will be given adequate instruction and training needed to perform their roles and responsibilities in accordance with DECYP and Libraries Tasmania’s policies and procedures.

Libraries Tasmania actively recognises volunteer contributions and achievements including through national Volunteer Week events.

Managers, delegates or local volunteer coordinators are responsible for volunteer supervision. Volunteers and their supervisor should meet at least annually to discuss performance and encourage two-way feedback. The frequency of these meetings will be determined by agreement and determined by the volunteer role. A volunteer’s under-performance or misconduct issues are to be promptly identified, recorded, and addressed in line with the principles of natural justice and relevant policy and procedures.
