What is a PNC – Police National Computer – Check?
For some events it is a condition of the license that all personnel are PNC (Police National Computer) checked prior to arrival on-site. For those events that require PNC checks – all staff and volunteer details are passed to the UK police force four to eight weeks prior to an event. The police then inform us if each staff member and volunteer has passed or failed the PNC check. If someone fails we are not told why. Failures can be resolved – just because someone isn’t passed straight away doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t attend the event. Sometimes the problem is merely old information i.e. an administrative issue the police have been trying to tidy-up. If you’re concerned about the PNC check, or just want to try and make sure you’ll pass before applying or paying a deposit – unfortunately we are unable to pass details for PNC checks to the police prior to the dates specified by them – so can’t tell you for sure if you will pass or fail. Although for a small fee you can apply onlin
