In order to make it easier for coordinators to deliver training sessions in the workplace, we have put together five training videos that can be used as a basis for discussions. These can be shown on a big screen in a meeting room and will give coordinators a structure to base their training sessions around.

These videos can be shown separately (if time is limited) but we recommend that they be shown one after the other (with a possible gap in between for questions), and in the order shown above.
Video 1 - Overview of Number Partners - can also be used as a recruitment video if potential volunteers wish to find out more before signing up for the programme.
We recommend that coordinators also provide information about:
Please refer to the Coordinator Handbook for more information about what volunteers need to know.
As well as showing these videos, we recommend distributing a copy of the Volunteer Handbook, and other useful downloads from our site.
If a volunteer is unable to attend a training session in the workplace, they can be referred to this page in order that they can watch the videos in their own time.
You will need QuickTime in order to view these videos. If you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer, instructions for downloading it will appear when you click on the link to download the video. Please be aware that it can take up to 5 minutes to do this.
