Volunteer placements can go wrong if:
- The placement is not well planned
- There has not been co-operation between people
- Thought has not been given to whether or not volunteering is the right step for the person you are supporting at that time!
And then…
- The placement will be unsuccessful
- The volunteer will have a negative experience of volunteering
- You, the referrer will be disappointed
- The organisation who had involved the volunteer will lose the volunteer and will have a negative experience
- Everyone’s confidence will be affected
