1.7 More to Come in Phase Two

Although this project does not allow for an in-depth treatment of any one policy topic, Community Literacy of Ontario is pleased to announce that Ministry of Education and National Literacy Secretariat funding has been made available for the continuation (in Phase Two) of this project.With your ideas and feedback on this document, we plan to expand with further information on specific and challenging policy topics such as:

  1. Rules of conduct
  2. Policies and procedures for programming and service delivery
  3. Volunteer screening policies for tutors, board members, and other volunteers
  4. Safety and security policies to protect staff, volunteers and learners
  5. Policies for managing, updating and accessing records and statistics
  6. Policies on how learner, volunteer and staff performance is evaluated and monitored
  7. Referral and access policies
  8. Policies for the ongoing support and recognition of volunteers
  9. Conflict: policies for managing grievances and complaints of staff, volunteers and learners
  10. Insurance and liability policies within non-profit organizations.

In Phase Two, CLO plans to circulate a series of templates on disk, to assist you in developing your own policies and procedures manual.
