Request Leave of Absence

This form should be filled in to submit a request for a formal Leave of Absence.

Please note that this form should only be used to book absences that are longer than four weeks.

If you are simply requesting time off from duties due to holiday or unavailability for a short period of time (e.g. booking time off and asking for a programme to be covered in your absence), please use the Time Off Request form instead.

YOUR DETAILS

DATES & DURATION

Please enter a start and end date for your leave of absence. Please note that the maximum duration for a Leave of Absence is six months. If you do not know the end date, please estimate this as it can be reviewed nearer the time. If you feel your Leave of Absence may be longer than the maximum six months, or even indefinite, please ensure you book it initially for no longer than six months. Towards the end of this time period, the Head of Volunteer Management will review it and consider an extension if necessary. Absences which are booked via this form for longer than six months will be rejected.
