Organisations
Q. How do we apply to PAT
for a volunteer to visit our organisation?
A. The process is initiated with a phone call to us. We will
briefly discuss your needs and set up an appointment to meet with
you. At this meeting we will explain the parameters within which PAT
operates. We also need to evaluate your organisation. This will
involve looking at your requirements, policies and parameters within
which the visitor would have to work. If you decide to go ahead with
the process, we will ask you to complete certain forms to enable us
to register your organisation.
Q. How soon after this will
the visits begin?
A. It will depend on whether PAT has a suitable volunteer. If
not, we will advise you as soon as one becomes available. It is
important to remember that PAT is a not for profit organisation,
entirely dependant on volunteers, so the process may take some time.
However, as soon as a volunteer becomes available, we will notify
you.
Q.
What are the
costs involved and what do they cover?
A. There are no costs
involved, however donations by organisations are always welcome.
Q. Once
the visits are in process, is there anything else required?
A. PAT
will follow up with a nominated representative of your organization
periodically to determine that you are getting the service you
expect. In the unlikely event that you experience any problems in
the meantime, we would ask that you contact us immediately.
