The standards behind responsible action.
YUVA’s policies and frameworks provide guidance on governance, privacy, volunteering, health and safety, responsible conduct, organisational procedures and the protection of people connected to our work.
Values become credible when they are supported by standards.
Policies help translate organisational principles into clear expectations. They establish standards for behaviour, decision-making, privacy, volunteering, safety and the responsible use of organisational authority.
They also help volunteers, staff, donors, partners and other stakeholders understand the responsibilities that accompany participation in YUVA’s work.
This page brings together YUVA’s principal governance and operational resources in one accessible library.
YUVA’s policy framework covers areas including standards of conduct, conflicts of interest, privacy, protection of minors, volunteering, financial and approval authority and organisational responsibility.
