(Disclosure and Barring Service)
Introduction:
The Association considers the safety of young people its paramount concern. Disclosure checks are an important part of the Association’s approach to safeguarding young people.
For those over 18 years of age are required to undertake a Disclosure check in the case of a person who:
- wishes to become a Member or Associate Member; or
- will have unsupervised access to young people; or
- will have involvement with the handling or management of funds; or
- will be assisting with overnight activities (including Nights Away); or
- will be helping out more than once a month
Generally the Scout Association does not require those under 18 to undergo a Disclosure check. These can be done at 17 ½ if the young person wishes to become an Adult Leader.
Forms:
There are a number of downloadable forms relating to appointments available on the Scout Association website. Please download the appropriate form, complete and return together with any necessary identification evidence to the GSL.
