Remote Mentoring Volunteer Application

Remote Mentoring Volunteer

We'd love to hear from you if you're interested in volunteering with our educational mentoring project which has now moved online. We're prioritising the safety of our children, volunteers and staff at the moment and not recruiting any volunteers for our other projects. We hope to be back to our normal, busy schedule soon!

Keeping Children Safe

We are committed to protecting the children, young people and families we work with and keeping them safe. We select, check and manage our volunteers to make sure that we are able to do this. // Criminal Record and Disqualifications A criminal record is not necessarily a bar to volunteering with us but, due to the nature of the role, any criminal record will need to be disclosed to us. You must include all convictions you've ever had – even if they're now spent, or if you were a juvenile at the time. Please, therefore, answer the following questions:

Have you ever been convicted of any criminal offence or cautioned, reprimanded or given a final warning by the police (spent or unspent)? *

Are you disqualified from working with children or vulnerable/protected adults? *

Are you aware of any police enquiries, following an allegation made against you, which may have a bearing on your suitability for the role? *

If yes, please give all details of all offences, penalties and/or police enquiries to Sarah Reynolds, Director of Salusbury World. You can email Sarah at sarahreynolds@salusburyworld.org.uk or post or deliver a letter containing the information, to Salusbury World, Salusbury Primary School, Salusbury Road, London NW6 6RG. This information will be kept confidential. // DBS: You do not need a recent Disclosure and Barring Service Check (or even to know what one is) to volunteer with Salusbury World – we will sort this out for you, if one is needed. If, though, you do have a recent DBS and are registered with the Update Service, please let us know.
