10. Disclosure and Barring Checks

Please note, because we work with vulnerable adults all staff must be checked with the Disclosure and Barring Service. This applies to volunteers too. If you are a non-UK national you will need a current Passport or current Driving Licence (photo card and counterpart where one is issued). If you do not have either document you will need to be fingerprinted by the police, as the only other alternative to the identification verification process.

I declare that the information on this application form is true and accurate, to the best of my knowledge.
