There are many organisational policy and procedure documents that apply to the work of members and volunteers of the St Vincent de Paul Society.

Some of these you should be very familiar with because they impact key elements of your routine work for the Society. An example of this kind of document is the Code of Conduct.

There are other policy documents that it would be desirable for you to be familiar with, but you may not need to refer to them all that often, an example might be the Managing Fraud and Dishonesty Policy.

There are other policies that you may never need, but they are available on this page in case you ever do need them. An example might be the Work-Related Violence Policy.

To make it easier for members and volunteers to familiarise themselves with the relevant policies, they have been placed in two categories below.
