Do Volunteers need to prove their Right to Work in the UK?

The Home Office guidance states that an employer must conduct a Right to Work Check on all applicants, whether they are to be paid employees or volunteers. However, whether you would receive a civil penalty for allowing someone who does not have the right to work in the UK to volunteer with you is something the Home Office cannot advise on. In this instance, you would need to seek independent legal advice specific to the situation.
