The West Bay Discovery Centre values equality and diversity and does not exclude anyone from volunteering on grounds such as gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, ethnic or national origin, language, religion or belief, political or other opinion or marital status. We also recognise that potential volunteers may have criminal records. Having a criminal record is not necessarily a bar to volunteering or working with us, and West Bay Discovery Centre welcomes applications from ex-offenders. We do not need to know about any spent convictions or cautions, but for some activities we may seek a DBS or CRC check.
