Document Summary
Padm 4240, fall 2018: the principles discussed in this chapter are universal and worth considering no matter where you are located. It is always good management practice to consider risk prevention and minimization, but please do not slip into risk avoidance. Second, it confuses the available punishment with a guarantee of prevention of some unwanted behavior. And third, it neglects the important fact that the initial reasons why the volunteer chose to come to the agency had nothing to do with a salary. It is more effective to govern through rewards than through negative consequences. Identifying individuals who have identifiable characteristics that increase the risk of placing them in particular positions. It is important that your insurance explicitly covers damage caused by volunteers: volunteers" personal liability, the volunteers themselves may have personal liability, negligence or some other breach of a prevailing standard of care or rule of law.
