This area covers the legal position of people who volunteer with organisations such as charities, clubs or community groups in England. It explains what qualifies as volunteering, what rights and protections volunteers have, and how organisations should run volunteering arrangements. A solicitor in this area helps draft or review volunteer agreements, policies on safeguarding, health and safety, discrimination and grievance handling, and advises on boundaries between volunteers and employees. It also covers issues like pay, expenses, and the correct handling of any disciplinary or termination steps, in line with UK and England and Wales law.
Volunteering matters when a refusal, withdrawal of access, or a disciplinary decision could prevent someone from helping an organisation or lead to liability for a charity. A solicitor protects the client by ensuring timely, compliant decisions are backed by proper policies, documentation, and adherence to statutory protections such as equality law and safeguarding requirements, and by addressing appeals or disputes within time limits and courts or tribunals where relevant.

Tagged solicitor Rachael Scowcroft
I have known Rachael for well over 15 years, and when I was recently made redundant, she was the first person I turned to for guidance. Facing a settlement agreement from my employer was stressful and unfamiliar territory, but Rachael stepped in with exactly the support I needed. She assisted me with the legal aspects of the settlement, ensuring I fully understood my rights and the implications of every detail. On several occasions, I needed to call her for clarification or reassurance, and each time she was consistently professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. Rachael’s calm approach and expertise made a difficult situation far easier to navigate. Her support was invaluable, and she handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. Overall, Rachael is a credit to her profession — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel genuinely supported by during challenging times.
