The Bat Line
Natural England produces a quarterly newsletter for bat work volunteers: The Bat Line: (592kb)
.
This contains up-to-date guidance on volunteer issues as well as technical information.

It is Natural England's policy to reimburse volunteers for their out-of-pocket expenses.
-
As with many voluntary and community organisations, Natural England volunteers provide personal information such as their address and telephone number when they register as a volunteer.
-
In the event of personal, or third party, accident or injury Natural England ‘self-insures’ both volunteers and staff in the same manner (incidents are dealt with on a case-by-case basis).
-
Natural England promotes the use of public transport wherever possible. However, where the use of public transport is impractical, volunteers may prefer to use their own vehicles.
-
Everyone has a part to play in achieving equality of opportunity. We expect all our staff and volunteers not to behave in a discriminatory way towards fellow staff, volunteers, customers and partners.

Natural England is committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of employees and volunteers alike.
