Policies, Procedures, Good Practice and Factsheets

Southampton Voluntary Services (SVS) have made a number of generic policies available for our service users, member organisations and the general public to view/download on this website. We hope these policies will help you to have a benchmark when you develop your own policies.

We do have a range of other policies available, so if you are working on developing your own policy, please email: r.kurn@southamptonvs.org.uk  We may be able to help you with a framework for your policy or provide you with a copy of our internal policies, that we do not make available on our website.
