Confidential Information
Due to the nature of St Catherine’s work it is our policy to obtain CRB Disclosures for all our Volunteers working at the Hospice as well as two independent references.
 
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974: Volunteers at the Hospice are exempt from the provision of Section 4 (2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 by virtue of the Rehabilitation Act (Exceptions) Order 1975.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from volunteering with us, depending on the circumstances and discussion with you. We ask you, therefore, to declare here any previous convictions (spent or unspent). Any information given will be completely confidential and will not necessarily disqualify Volunteers from volunteer work at St. Catherine’s Hospice but will be taken into account when assessing your suitability.
