Support for our volunteers

Open-access content Tuesday 2nd February 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

All members of the IFoA benefit from the time given by their peers, both past and present, who volunteer to help achieve our strategic objectives and to advance actuarial science.


All members of the IFoA benefit from the time given by their peers, both past and present, who volunteer to help achieve our strategic objectives and to advance actuarial science. To support those volunteers, a Volunteer Induction Pack (VIP) has been created and can be found on our website. It has recently been updated and now includes a section on 'Complying with the Bribery Act 2010'. You can view the VIP at: bit.ly/1PkaGUX. 

This January, we are also launching a new resource called 'Key information for chairs'. 

It has been designed to help the people chairing our boards/committees (and those who work with them) to uphold the principles of the IFoA's Governance Manual and VIP. There will also be a version for working party chairs.
