Please note: To ensure the safety of our clients, LiLAC requires that all volunteers who have direct access to clients, where any part of the work is primarily targeted at legally defined vulnerable adults or children, have their criminal records checked. However, LiLAC is committed to the promotion and delivery of equal opportunities to volunteers and so has a policy to ensure ex-offenders are not discriminated against.
All Offences, other than sexual crimes against a child or vulnerable adult, will be treated on an individual basis taking into account issues suck as risk to the client, the circumstances of the offence (E.g. What it was, is it relevant to the volunteer role, how long ago it was) and the reputation of the Charity. Anyone with a conviction for a sexual offence against a child or vulnerable adult, whenever it was committed, is not considered a suitable volunteer within the organisation and will not be taken on by LiLAC.
All personal information will be held for at least two years on our database, after which it will be erased.
