Criminal Record Certificates

Some opportunities require that a criminal record check be carried on anyone who wishes to volunteer with them. This is often the case if the volunteering involves working with children or vulnerable persons. No criminal record checks will be made without your consent. If you are accepted as a volunteer for the Eastwood Volunteer Bureau, criminal record checks will need to be carried out from 1st April 2003.
