    8 | Policy on Convictions

    Having a criminal record is not in itself a barrier to volunteering, and we will only take relevant convictions or sexual offences into account. Our policy is in place to make sure ex-offenders are treated fairly. We consider each offence individually, looking at issues like risk to the client, how long ago it took place, ther circumstances and whether they are relevant to the volunteer role.

    Anyone with a caution or conviction for sexual offence against a child or vulnerable adult is considered unsuitable to volunteer.

    If you are concerned about this and would like to discuss your individual circumstances further, please contact us.

    Have you had any previous convictions not regarded as spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974?

    If yes, please provide details of the offence and the date of conviction:

    9 | Entitlement to Work or Volunteer

    If you are from outside the EU/ EEA, it’s important you check you are permitted to volunteer or carry out ‘unpaid work’ in addition to your main reason for entering the country to avoid jeopardising your visa status.
