Entitlement to Volunteer

Volunteering for Mind BLMK is subject to satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance – this check was previously called a CRB clearance.  Mind BLMK will process an enhanced DBS check for you to include regulated activities with adults as well as children. Because of the nature of the work of volunteers in the organisation, the posts are exempt under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and you are required to reveal all convictions, including those that are spent.

(Convictions will not necessarily prevent you being offered a volunteering role)

I understand that false or misleading information or failure to disclose a conviction as defined above, may lead to the withdrawal of a volunteering offer. I also understand that the information may be entered on a computer and, under the terms of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), will be treated in a secure and confidential manner.

I understand and agree to the need for confidentiality in all aspects of my role as a Mind BLMK volunteer. I understand and agree to a period of probation as part of my induction to becoming a volunteer with Mind BLMK.
