Before going overseas

If you are thinking about volunteering or working overseas in a developing country or if you have already organised a placement and are preparing to go, you will find a wealth of invaluable information to assist you on Comhlamh's Volunteering Options website.

We would also advice all overseas volunteers, development and humanitarian workers to consider the following topics (not exhaustive) before you set off:

• Social Insurance and Pensions
• Health
• Volunteer Charter and Code of Practice
