Frequently Asked Questions
What are our charity's duties to staff and volunteers during a public health emergency?
The same health and safety duties that always apply, intensified: assess the risks to everyone your operations affect, staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, act on the findings and record significant findings if you have five or more employees. Volunteers count within your duty of care even though they are not employees. The templates here support that assessment and the day to day control measures during an emergency period.
Do we need a separate risk assessment for our charity shop compared to our office?
Yes, because the risks differ: a shop has public footfall, donated goods handling and volunteers on tills, while an office risk profile is contact between known staff. One generic assessment covering both is the common audit failure. This sub-folder provides a blank form plus two worked examples, one for a charity office and one for a charity shop, so each site's assessment starts from a realistic model rather than a blank page.
Can we require people to confirm they are symptom-free before entering our premises?
Yes, as a proportionate control during a declared emergency, applied consistently and handled as personal data. A daily declaration asking staff, contractors, volunteers and visitors to confirm they are symptom-free is a reasonable control measure flowing from your risk assessment. Health information is special category data, so collect the minimum, state the purpose, restrict access and set a short retention period. The declaration and attendance record templates here are built that way.
