No role is listed yet.

A role appears here only when its tasks, terms and supervisor are in place. Registering interest is not an application and creates no role.

03Each role

What a role states.

  1. 01

    Tasks and limits

    What the role does, and what it does not decide.

  2. 02

    Time

    The expected hours and for how long.

  3. 03

    Supervision and support

    Who supervises, and the support and safeguards that apply.

  4. 04

    Selection

    The criteria and who decides, recorded with the decision.

  5. 05

    Conflicts

    Interests are declared before selection; a person with a conflict on a matter steps back from it.

04Process

How the process runs.

Process

Volunteers and roles: Working group, charter to sunset

A working group is chartered by record for a fixed timebox, delivers bounded assignments, drafts and recommends, then dissolves unless renewed; it does not adopt.

  1. 01 Form

    1. 01NLC proposes the groupDecision · National Leadership CouncilThe NLC proposes working groups and nominates chairs, editors and experts from its leadership pools. It does not charter.
    2. 02Charter by recordDecision · National Standards CouncilA working group is chartered by record for a timebox of at most twenty-four months. The charter sets its scope, roles and decision rule.
    3. 03Members join by competenceStep · MembersExperts, practitioners, students and volunteers join by competence. Members declare interests and recuse on conflict.

  2. 02 Work

    1. 04Workplan from the national agendaStepAssignments come from the national agenda and the year’s missions. Each states the competence it needs and how the work will be reviewed.
    2. 05Drafts and deliverables, delivered monthlyRecordGroups deliver monthly. For standards they draft the national profile and deviation register and run national public comment and pilots.

  3. 03 Review

    1. 06Contribution record and reviewGateEach contribution is recorded and reviewed. A working group drafts and recommends; it does not adopt.
    2. 07Recognition follows the recordRecordContribution records are kept, so that recognition follows the record.
    3. 08National adoption is decided elsewhereDecision · National Standards CouncilThe National Standards Council decides the adoption mode and the national profile. The working group proposes and never decides.

  4. 04 Close

    1. 09Dissolved by default, or renewed by recordDecision · National Standards CouncilA group is dissolved by default at the end of the timebox. The National Standards Council renews or closes it, on the NLC’s proposal.

National Working Groups · National Standards Council · Decision rightsDesigned programme process, not a record of operation. No cycle has run and every programme is at service level R0. A gate is a programme decision, never a public-authority approval, certification or deployment authorisation. No working group is constituted. The charter rules belong to the proposed Nexus Standards working model.

05Safe participation

Participants are protected.

Volunteers are covered by the same safeguarding as every participant. A role never confers authority, appointment or endorsement; see what membership means.

06Other pathways

Ways to take part today.

Institutions, leaders and experts each have their own pathway on participate: institutions, leaders and experts.

07Questions

Questions and answers.

Are volunteer roles paid?
Each role states its terms, including whether it is paid. A volunteer role never replaces a post the work needs.
What happens to my registration?
It is recorded with a reference and kept under the privacy notice; you can ask for access, correction or erasure through the privacy request form.
Does volunteering give a seat on a council?
No. Council seats follow their own nomination and selection procedure on nominations.
