Involving volunteers in delivering services for vulnerable families
Episode 38, Jan 25, 2021, 09:10 AM
Volunteers play an important role in helping to engage vulnerable families in a service and can provide ongoing peer support on a one-to-one basis. We explore current research evidence on involving volunteers in delivering services to support families and examine the outcomes for parents, children and volunteers.
In this episode, we’re joined by the authors of our commissioned review, Dr. Louca-Mai Brady and Berni Graham, as well as Georgia Hyde-Dryden from the NSPCC. You’ll hear them discuss the key findings and best practices identified from the literature review, including what services volunteers provided to families, challenges and issues that need to be considered and how this will inform the NSPCC’s future opportunities.
