ID Checking Options for CRB Checks for Volunteers

Volunteer ID Checking

Option 1 - Employer Checks ID Documents

In normal circumstances the employer or organisation checks the applicant’s ID documents when they fill in the Disclosure application form, usually at the job interview.

(The information pack we send you explains how these checks are done).

In some circumstances however, it is not possible for the employer / organisation to do this, particularly when your applicants or members are geographically dispersed for example.

APCS can deal with your applicants directly with the following helpful services
