Colleges urged to take more responsibility for student volunteers - Third Sector: "Volunteering England points to 'lack of support' to ensure their safety

Volunteering England has urged sixth-form colleges to introduce stricter measures to protect students who volunteer.

In a new report, Safeguarding Student Volunteering, the charity says colleges should vet organisations in which their students volunteer and screen students to make sure they are suited to the placements."
