Safeguarding and Suitability for the Role
We ask the following questions as part of our safer recruitment process. A previous caution or conviction does not necessarily prevent you from becoming a trustee, but full disclosure is required to assess suitability for this role.
Are you legally entitled to volunteer in the UK and free from any restrictions (e.g., immigration, safeguarding, or legal conditions) that would prevent you from working with children or vulnerable people?
Have you ever been asked to leave a volunteering role or dismissed from a job? If yes, explain; if no, write ‘N/A’
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense (spent or unspent), received a caution, warning, or reprimand, or are you currently under investigation for any criminal activity? If yes, please provide details. Note: A criminal record will not automatically disqualify you, but full disclosure is required for roles involving children.
Have you ever been subject to safeguarding allegations, investigations, or proceedings in any context (e.g., by social services, employers, charities, or personal circumstances), or had children removed from your care? If yes, please provide details, including outcomes or ongoing status.
Have you ever been refused a DBS clearance, included on a DBS Barred List (Children or Adults), removed from a role involving children or vulnerable groups, or barred from working with these groups? If yes, please provide details.
Are you willing to complete mandatory safeguarding training and comply with Incredible Kids’ vetting processes, including providing all requested information (e.g., DBS, references) before starting your role?
I understand that I cannot begin a role at Incredible Kids until all vetting checks (DBS, references, and disclosures) are completed and approved by Incredible Kids. By completing this form, you agree to provide all requested information promptly to facilitate these checks.
