Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) Exceptions Order (1975) In order to protect programme participants and clients (eg children and adults at risk) it is necessary for checks to be made on all volunteers. If you are applying to volunteer with children or adults, the work you are applying for is exempt from the provision of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. You are therefore required to disclose details of any convictions including ‘spent’ convictions. If you are applying for a role that is not with adults or children then you only need to declare ‘unspent’ convictions. If you have been convicted of any offences please give details. Any information given will be kept confidential. (Please note that this will not necessarily prejudice your application)

Yes

If yes, please give details

I am committed to the aims of The Salvation Army including their commitment to protecting children and vulnerable adults. I have completed all sections of the application form accurately to the best of my knowledge and understand that to knowingly give false information or omit information is a breach of trust and could result in the ending of my volunteering relationship with The Salvation Army. I understand that if I am subsequently convicted of a relevant criminal offence I must declare this to The Salvation Army. Do you give consent to this declaration? *

Yes

We will require two character references from two referees who have known you for at least a year. One should be from your current or most recent employer or church leader (if applicable), or someone who can comment on you in an organisational capacity, through any other work or volunteering you have undertaken. The second reference should not be from a family member or anyone you live with. Please note it is your responsibility to obtain these references. Please state below the name and contact details of two referees whom we can contact, with your permission: *

We will hold your personal information to allow us to carry out our agreement with you and process your information. You can change your preferences at any time. Please indicate if you consent to us retaining your information. *
