Why Do I Need an ACCESSNI Check?
Individuals with a leadership role (inc staff, interns, mentors co-ordinators and leaders) will have unsupervised access to under 18's (regarded as Regulated Activity) and so we are required to carry out an AccessNI "police check".
What should I be aware of?
Following this process will complete an enhanced checks on the applicant and he/she should be aware that:
- The Children's Barred List will be searched and Exodus will be informed if there are any convictions. (Exodus will not be issued with the details and it will be up to the individual if they want to share them at this stage)
- It is against the law for employers to employ someone or allow them to volunteer for this kind of work if they know they’re on one of the barred lists. Equally, it is against the law for someone currently on the barred list to apply for positions requiring barred list checks.
- By completing a disclosure form for any position in Exodus you are agreeing to the above information (if any) being disclosed to Exodus, and appropriate action (if any) being taken thereafter. Please click here for our policy on recruiting offenders.
