SUMMARY:GDPR & IG - What will be the impact and are we ready for it?
DESCRIPTION:GDPR & IG -What will be the impact and are we ready for it? \n23 January 2018 at Hanbury Hall\, Spitalfields\, Hanbury St | Spitalfields | London \nThis event is designed as both a spot-check for your preparations -have you got it all covered? and a look at recent relevant experiences that we can all learn from. \nEveryone anticipates significant changes when the new GDPR regulations come into effect\, but how will it specifically impact on volunteering and volunteer managers\, as opposed to fundraisers? Has every organisation taken the same approach and made the same preparations? do we all recognise the same potential issues\, and does anyone really understand the full connotations and consequences. \nRNLI took the brave decision to implement the GDPR regulations a year early\, and are the only large organisation to have done so. Find out what they learnt\, why they opted for thi unconventional route and what advice they’d suggest for others. \nAlzheimer’s Society have specific experience of broader data protection issues\, and will be sharing their Enforcement Notice experience and the key work they took forward as a result of this. The ICO were sadly unable to send a speaker to this event\, however this presentation will address the ICO’s role in Alzheimer’s situation. \nPaul Jennings\, legal expert from Bates Wells Braithwaite (BWB) will be providing an overview of the legal implications of the new legislation\, with suggestions of some of the pitfalls to avoid and an idea of the possible consequences for both large and small organisations. \nAGENDA:(subject to change) \n1pm Arrivals\, registration \n1:30 Welcome address from Daniel Ingram\, AVM Director \n1:35 RNLI: Tom Payne\, Data Governance Analyst and Esme Chapman\, Data Governance Analyst. \nTom and Esme will be covering RNLI’s approach to GDPR readiness: what was the background to their decision to implement a year early; what factors seemed most relevant to them\, and did the results match their expectations? They will share what they learned\, and suggest how others may beneft from their experience. They will also address Accountability and Ownership at RNLI and the communication roll-out to staff and volunteers. \n2:15 Alzheimers Society: Kate Adams\, Head of Volunteering and Amy Symons\, Volunteering Support Manager. \nKate and Amy will give us an overview of the situation leading to the Information Commisioner taking action against Alzheimers for their “disappointing attitude’ to data use. They will address the impact of this decision\, what actions Alzheimers took\, what they learned and how\, as an organisation\, they were able to channel the experience into positive development and become better prepared for GDPR requirements. \n2:55 Table discussions \n3:25 Coffee and tea \n3:45 Paul Jennings\, Partner\, BWB \nPaul will be guiding us through the legal minefield of what’s allowed\, what isn’t; what is clear and what is open to interpretation\, and ultimately what can be expected from disagreement or transgression. He will provide a legal interpretation of the governments aims\, wishes and intentions. \n4:20 Round-up and closing address. \n4:30 Optional Q&A session: For those with specific questions for our speakers\, this timeslot is available for on-on-one or small group discussions. \n5 pm Close

SUMMARY:Community Life Survey: What is volunteering and how should it be counted?
DESCRIPTION:The Goverment’s recent Community Life Survey appears to suggest a fall in general levels of volunteering. But is it as simple as that? Has the recent change in research methodology affected the results? If so\, how? What are the pros and cons of the new method\, how does the private sector approach such research\, and how is the data utilised? \nThis event will bring together the Survey’s lead researcher\, Olivia Christophersen\, with Cian Murphy\, Head of data Science at nfpSynergy\, and Veronique Jochum\, Head of Research at NCVO. Between them they will look at the different ways in which volunteering data is collected\, examine the trends and consider how it can best be utilised for the benefit of the sector. \nAs usual\, there will be opportunities for networking and roundtable discussions where attendees can compare their own experiences\, observations and conclusions. \nAGENDA \n13:00 Registration \n13:30 Welcome address from Ruth Leonard\, AVM Chair \n13:40 Olivia Christophersen\, Head of Statistics\, the Department for Digital\, Culture\, Media and Sport: Who volunteers? Latest results from the Community Life Survey \nThe Community Life Survey is the Government’s main source of information on patterns in volunteering in England. This presentation will summarise the latest results from the survey\, exploring the characteristics of people who volunteer and how this has changed over time. It will also look at the frequency of different types of volunteering activities. \n14:15 Cian Murphy\, Head of data Science\, nfpSynergy: Is counting volunteers easier than counting sheep? \nnfpSynergy has been monitoring the percentage of people who volunteer for over 15 years. This session will present some of our trends and analysis. It will also look at some of the challenges of deciding what is and isn’t volunteering\, and work out why the different researchers come up with such different estimates. One thing’s for sure\, while it’s probably easier to count sheep\, but sheep would be rubbish running a charity shop. \n14:50 Roundtable discussion \n15:20 Coffee break \n15:45 Veronique Jochum\, Head of Research\, NCVO: \nVéronique will talk about the way the NCVO uses the Community Life Survey to improve understanding of how people get involved. She will outline how the survey informs the yearly production of the UK Civil Society Almanac and the Road Ahead publication on the sector’s operating environment\, and how the survey results feature in a new NCVO publication ‘Getting involved: How people make a difference’ drawing together trends\, facts and statistics relating to participation from a range of different sources. \n16:20 Closing address \n16:45 End

SUMMARY:Winning in Volunteer Management: Working together\, what can we achieve? (AVM Replay)
DESCRIPTION:Volunteering and Sport have the power to change lives\, but do all Volunteer Managers Face the Same Issues? \nVolunteers in sport make up the highest percentage in the UK (22%)\, and volunteer management is a focus for many sporting organisations looking to expand the capacity of their sport. With the spotlight on volunteering brought about through the Gamesmakers of the London 2012 Olympic Games\, what lessons have been learned about effectively engaging volunteers in sports organisations? \nVolunteer Managers at Sports organisations address certain issues that are unique to the sports sector. However\, they also face many issues that are universal. What can the sports sector learn from the charity sector about how to manage volunteers well? \nThis event aims to bring together presenters and delegates from sports and non-sports volunteer organisations\, to see how sharing experiences\, challenges and successes can be of mutual benefit to all. \nSeveral of our speakers will be sharing their personal experiences of both sports and non-sports volunteering and volunteer management. \nWatch again with AVM Replay\nAVM members can log in to access the recordings from this and other events.

SUMMARY:Meaningful Engagement Begins with Recruitment (AVM Replay)
DESCRIPTION:The intention here is to examine how organisations approach the recruitment process\, with a view to considering the long-term objectives. Does “meaningful” mean volunteers who will remain in your organisation for a long time\, or does it mean bringing in people who will enjoy rewarding volunteering throughout the sector? Should organisations take a broader perspective\, or are we necessarily driven by less altruistic motives? \nWith a cross-section of smaller and larger organisations represented\, we aim to address some of the key issues that affect all organisations looking to recruit volunteers. There will be open space discussions for attendees to share their own particular challenges and successes. \nWatch again with AVM Replay\nAVM members can log in to access the recordings from this and other events.
