Information on civil service volunteering

The request was successful.

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I'd be grateful if you could provide me with the following
information under provision made in the 2000 Freedom of Information
Act. Please do not hesitate to contact us if any of the questions
below are unclear or if there is a cost to finding this information
that we are required to provide.

We are interested in recruiting more volunteers for Scouting and
hope to do so through employer supported volunteering schemes. We
hope that you will be able to provide us with this information to
advance our cause.

You will note we have asked our questions in the context of all
Government/Quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations
(quangos) departments as we wish to be able to compare and contrast
different policies concerning employer supported volunteering
across the entire Civil Servants. We understand you may not have
access to all of these but request information pertaining to those
departments you do have responsibility for.

For the Ministry of Justice and in reference to the employment
of civil servants please provide:

1) Documents referring to currently active policy concerning any
form of support given to employees to undertake volunteering
opportunities outside of their day to day responsibilities. If
these are not consistent across all contracts between
Government/quango departments, please give specific details for
each department.

2) A breakdown of what support and/or benefits (be they in
reference to salary, remuneration, annual leave, promotion or other
forms of benefit connected to employment) is currently given to
employees to undertake volunteering opportunities outside of their
day to day responsibilities. If these are not consistent across all
contracts between civil servants and Government/quangos please give
specific details for each department.

3) A list of organisations that are considered legitimate to
volunteer with as part of any policy concerning support given to
employees to undertake volunteering opportunities outside of their
day to day responsibilities. If these are not consistent across all
contracts between civil servants and Government/quangos please give
specific details for each department.

4) Specifically, please give details of any policies that reference
“The Scout Association” in relation to support given to employees
to undertake volunteering opportunities outside of their day to day
responsibilities. If these are not consistent across all contracts
between civil servants and Government/quangos please give specific
details for each department.

Yours faithfully,

Lauren Crowley
