A report by the Commission for Social Care Inspection has found that “voluntary-owned services, both residential and domiciliary care, significantly outperform those run by local councils and those in the private sector”.

Some of the results and further comment can be found in a Third Sector article.

Please read before posting any items on VoluntaryNews.

We want to make using this site as straightforward as possible. We do have to give the usual disclaimers however.

Most items are likely to be posted for free, so there are limits to what we can provide (web space and time does cost). We make no promises on how long items will remain on the site, but we expect it to be at least a year, unless of course they are removed by the poster.

It is the poster’s responsibility to check for accuracy, correct any mistakes and revise as necessary. And of course to keep it legal! VolResource will, from time to time, check that items posted are relevant and decent, and reserves the right to remove any which we feel are not appropriate.

We cannot guarantee that the Public News and Public Events sections in particular will meet the standards we would like all of the time, as there is an ‘open door’. Ask if you want to know of other options (if we haven’t already given details elsewhere).

No material of a religious or party political nature, please.

See About tab for how.
