Notes |
|
1 |
Approach someone
to help with the work (see below if they are under the age of 16) |
Note! Don't assume
if they have been at Meadow Way for some time that they are on the
approved list. You must check to see if they are on the approved
list. It
is the responsibility of the main leader for the activity to make
sure they do not start before stage 8. Remember it may take weeks if
not months to follow the procedure before they can can start. There
are no circumstances that overrides this procedure. |
|
2 |
Prospective worker
to complete an application form |
This four page
form (form 2) can be downloaded in word
or pdf
format by any leader from our web site (recruiters normally carry
copies during Sunday church services). To help, this form and introduction
letter in word format are not password protected. The completed
form can be handed to the recruiters for them to process or back to
yourselves for you to obtain the two references (completed
application form & references must be handed to the recruiters
before CRB check). |
|
3 |
Prospective worker
to complete a self declaration of any criminal record |
This one page form
(form 3) can be downloaded in word
or pdf
format must be handed to the recruiters. |
|
4 |
Obtain two
references for the prospective worker |
The blank forms - form
4 for reference request (word format) and form
5 for reference reply (word format) can be downloaded from our
web site. If obtained by yourselves the completed references must be
handed to the recruiters before CRB check. |
|
5 |
Interview the
prospective worker and discuss any issues they may have had with
child protection/sex in the past. |
This must be done
by yourselves and the recruiters are willing to attend if you require
us (will be useful).
|
|
6 |
Prospective worker
to be handed a blank CRB disclosure form for them to fill in |
The recruiters
normally carry copies with guidance
notes during Sunday church services. These are special forms and
can not be downloaded from our web site.
Note! We can now
offer CRB's to be completed over the internet. The benefits of the
fully CCPAS secure system are many and varied, including:
The system will
involve the applicant completing an online disclosure application
form via the CCPAS fully secure system, and forwarding the form
electronically to the Recruiter. This form will, in turn, be
electronically forwarded to CCPAS. After being checked by CCPAS the
form continues its electronic journey straight to the CRB. It
is possible that the whole process, from the applicant completing
their form to its arrival at the CRB could take less than one working day!
The CRB will
process the form and send either a secure electronic notification if
the certificate is clear or a paper copy if there is information
disclosed. The applicant will still receive their own paper copy of
the CRB Certificate. |
|
7 |
Completed CRB form
to be handed back to one of the two recruiters, to check identify documents |
We must see
originals, so special arrangements must done for those not living
local for checking via the post office. Please speak to the
recruiters if we plan to use anyone from abroad. |
|
8 |
On return of an
acceptable CRB form, the worker will receive a controlled copy of the
child protection policy and a quick reference guide as produced by CCPAS |
They will then be
added to the leaders approved list. Only at this point can workers
can start working with children and young people. Remember
it is the responsibility of the main leader for the activity to make
sure they do not start before this point. |
|
9 |
Attach the new
appointee to a more experienced worker for a probationary period
(three months or in the case of camp the duration of camp) |
|
|
10 |
Within six months
attend MWC child protection DVD training course |
We will plan to
have one course every six months. The last one was in February 2010.
The next one will be after Easter 2011 |
