The Society continues its work to keep policies and procedures up to date and implemented in a meaningful way across the organisation.
Since the last Newsletter the following policies have been updated:
-
Conflicts of Interest Policy
-
Records Management Policy
-
Privacy Policies
-
Internal Grievance Policy
The review of these policies are in line with our commitment to ensuring:
-
the integrity and regulatory compliance of our services,
-
the protection of the stories and information about the People We Assist, and
-
transparency and openness when dealing with grievances.
In addition to the above and as part of the Privacy Records Management Project, we have developed some information for Members and Volunteers that we hope will provide some clarity around Records Management.
We appreciate this might be an area that feels overwhelming. The Information for Members and Volunteers, sets out what records you may have at your Conference and what the rules are around keeping those records and when records can be destroyed – how they need to be securely destroyed.
If you would like further information about any policy, or you would like to discuss the Information Sheet, please contact Gina Vizza at: Gina.Vizza@vinnies.org.au
