Stewartry Council of Voluntary Service

Stewartry CVS can provide a disclosure service to voluntary organisations that do not wish to process the application themselves.

Standard Disclosures

This is available subject to the application being countersigned by a registered person (usually the potential employer or voluntary organisation). Standard Disclosure may be required for

• those involving regular contact with children and vulnerable adults;.

The Disclosure is sent to the applicant, and a copy sent to the relevant registered body.

Enhanced Disclosures

In addition to the details included in Standard Disclosures, Enhanced Disclosures may contain non conviction information which a Chief Constable may choose to disclose, which he feels is relevant to the job or voluntary work sought.

This type of Disclosure is available to -

• those who apply for work that regularly involves caring for, training, supervising or being in sole charge of children or vulnerable adults;
• applicants for registration for child minding, day care and to act as foster parents or carers.

There is currently no charge for disclosure to volunteers working for not-for-profit organisations. For all paid employees the charge is £20.00
