Volunteers to act as Appropriate Adults for those held in Police Custody - Hafal

The aim of an Appropriate Adult Volunteer is to offer support to vulnerable adults who find themselves detained in Police custody.  Being an Appropriate Adult is a challenging, fulfilling and often rewarding role.  Volunteers must be over 18 but don't need previous knowledge of legal procedures or social work.  The role of the Appropriate Adult is not to provide legal advice but to offer impartial support and be a friendly face in the absence of a family member or carer to people who may be feeling frightened, bewildered, and confused in an unfamiliar situation.

Volunteers will also need to be able to demonstrate that they can:

Represent Hafal in a positive and professional manner at all times.

Form and maintain good working relationships with a variety of people.

Display honesty, integrity, and patience when dealing with vulnerable adults.

Be non-judgemental when dealing with vulnerable adults and understand the issues, problems, and difficulties that they may face.  This role is suitable for people aged 18+.
