Hello
Just looking to find out some information on training and volunteering whilst on ESA (support group).
I m trying to find out if it is ok to volunteer and do an nvq, I have been offered the chance to do the nvq where I voluntee and whilst deciding if I feel ready and able to attempt wanted to know if it's ok whilst on esa.
It would mean volunteering 16 hours a week but still unpaid and all in house training.
Thanks to anyone that might be able to help
