Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
 
I noted,
Briefing to the Incoming Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector
"You have an opportunity to continue to promote and better recognise the
contribution of volunteers to communities. Volunteer recognition has come
to the fore as an endeavour that government can support and is well
received within the sector. "
 
what sort of the recognition were you talking about here. Monetary?
"Peak bodies (umbrella organisations representing the shared interests of
the sector), supported by the Department, are developing a more fit for
purpose professional development and accreditation framework for
volunteers to allow them to receive formal recognition for the skills and
experience they gain from the volunteer work they do. "
 
What sort of accreditation framework has been proposed? NZQA?
 
Yours faithfully,
 
john luke
