Havana..thanks for your response.it did make me think if i was doing the right thing.,
My motive is based on fact,as apart from the fact that the person is not suitable for this particular volunteering position there are many other positions which he would be ,the position is one of trust .
Confidentiality is his biggest problem,so anywhere that confidentiality would not be a requirment would be fine.
I know that the orgainisation in question requires the volunteers to attend a course and he has not attended
on a regular basis.I just think that an orgainisation that you and/or i may contact as a lifeline should have maybe some kind of system in place to vet volunteers.ie psycometric testing.
The best way to describe it would be to tell you I have seen this place advertised ,and anyone can phone on a confidential basis and I believe this will not be adhered to.I have nothing against this person,and sadly because ones motives are questioned it may lead to a situation where one wouldnt get involved.
I know its a requirment that this orgainisation asks volunteers
not to tell people you are one of them,
Not to give advice
not to disclose information recieved.
to attend their course.etc.
everyone who knows this person was taken aback when we heard he was becoming a volunteer and now more so that he is "passed "the course,and can deal with the public "confidentialy".
All I can say to sum up is perhaps I shouldnt get involved ,but I ,as well as others who know him,will never trust this place ,and that is a shame.
