Charges
The recommended donation for membership to CCPAS is £70.00 per annum which includes 20 free volunteer checks in the first year of membership.

Additional volunteer checks will cost £12.00 inc. VAT per check and this charge will be levied for all volunteer checks after the first year. Each check for a paid worker is £42.00 (incl VAT). This covers the £30.00 fee levied by AccessNI.

Forms returned to the sender because they have been incorrectly completed will incur a charge of £4.50 inc. VAT per form. Incorrect forms cause a significant increase in workload and this charge contributes to covering administrative costs.

Payment for the services detailed above must be by Direct Debit. This is carried out on a monthly basis and 10 days notice is given by email before any monies are taken.

What is a Disclosure?
A Disclosure is a document containing information held by the police and government departments. It enables organisations to check the background of job applicants (paid or voluntary) to ensure that they do not have a history that would make them unsuitable for the post they want to fill. Disclosures would provide details of a person's criminal record, including convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the police national computer (PNC).

The following lists may also be checked depending on whether the applicant is applying to work with children or vulnerable adults:

• Disqualification from Working with Children (DWC (NI) List
• Disqualification from Working with Vulnerable Adults (DWVA (NI)
• List 99 held by DCSF
• DoH PoCA and PoVA lists
• Unsuitable Persons List held by DE
• Relevant Scottish Lists

For Enhanced Disclosures only, AccessNI will ask relevant Police Forces throughout the UK for any additional non-conviction material, including cases pending, which the Police consider relevant for disclosure.
