GMFA's policies

In this section you will find most of GMFA’s policies and our governing documents. We have put them here in order that GMFA can be a transparent organisation and to enable GMFA volunteers to have access to all the policies when they need them. All policies are downloadable as PDFs.

If you are from another voluntary organisation, please feel free to use any of the policies. However GMFA does not take any legal responsibility for any of the policies and we recommend that you pass all of your policies past your solicitor before you implement them.

GMFA also has employment policies which we are happy to share with you. If you would like to receive a copy of any of our employment policies please contact the Chief Executive.

For ease of use, we have divided the policies into seven sections. The first section contains our governing documents. The section on developing interventions outlines how GMFA develops our health promotion. The sections on volunteering and volunteer roles contain policies that support volunteers and describe how they contribute to GMFA. The policies on equality, bullying and harassment, data protection and health and safety in the general section, also relate to volunteers. As Directors have additional rights and responsibilities there are an additional set of policies in the Directors section. Directors are also covered by the volunteer policies. The general section has policies that didn’t quite fit any of the other sections. The policies on equality, bullying and harassment, data protection and health and safety in the general section, also relate to employees.
