Commitments and Submission

An important part of this volunteering role is to attend peer support group meetings via zoom currently every 2 weeks. How comfortable are you using zoom? *
This is for peer support, governance and part of how we can evaluate the service to prove its effectiveness and therefore receive ongoing funding. 
For this reason we ask companions to be confident with zoom but we can provide some training as long as your internet connection is good. 
Zoom is surprisingly easy and simply a click on the meeting date will take you into the meeting 
You’ll be asked to complete a short online survey (5-10 minutes) after each companion interaction. Do you agree to this requirement? *
To enable effective communication and record-keeping, do you agree to information sharing for this role? *
Final Confirmation *
