Description
Become an auditor for the Fairtrade University Award and help us monitor our progress towards Fairtrade University status.
Volunteer auditors conduct an audit of the University to review the efforts to embed and promote Fairtrade and wider ethical consumption. You will receive full training via Teams, delivered by SOS-UK and the Fairtrade Foundation, where you will learn about trade justice issues and how they apply to the University, as well as develop professional and analytical skills. You will learn how to conduct an audit and then get the opportunity to conduct the audit of the university with other volunteer auditors.
The online training and the audits will take place over two days. This is an 8-hour commitment – you will need to be available for the full two days to take part:
- Wednesday 29 April, 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00
- Thursday 30 April, 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00.
