Volunteer Selection Procedure

FOCUS takes very seriously its legal duty of care to protect the clients we work with. For this reason, it is our policy to conduct a Disclosure & Barring Service check on all volunteers and to ask for two referees. You will also be asked to attend an interview before undertaking training and joining a FOCUS project.
Because our work involves access to young people, FOCUS is exempt from some of the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You are therefore obliged to disclose to us any previous criminal convictions (whether they are ‘spent’ or ‘unspent’). You will be asked about this at your interview.
Referees
Please provide details of two people who we may contact for a reference. Referees should be people you have met through a professional relationship (or who are in a position of responsibility), who, unless they are a current employer or tutor, must have known you for at least one year. If you have ever worked with young people, one referee should have supervised you in that work.
