Child Protection

We take the safety of all those involved with Summer Madness extremely seriously. Please read the below carefully and contact the office if you have any questions.
Volunteer Declaration

You have applied for a volunteer post. It is our policy to ask for the relevant check to be carried out by Access NI. This is to make sure that individuals who might be a risk to children and/or vulnerable adults are not appointed.
Are you at present or have you previously been the subject of any investigation in relation to working with young people or have been disqualified from working with young people?
Is there any reason why you can not work in a "regulated" activity? (Anything that involves concentrated contact with youth people)

Could you come back here (in due course) and confirm that you have completed each of the SM training modules for this year... (saves us so much time in the office checking this with Testmoz)
Staff training record....
Until you hit 'submit' we have not details on record at all.

So you can hit 'submit' and still return to the form later if you don't have the various documents to hand.

You can also save the link for yourself - incase the automated email that will go to out to you with the link might just end up in your junk folder.
