Who Qualifies for free disclosures?
Access Northern Ireland will provide free disclosure services to volunteers. For the purposes of ANI’s services, and subject to the exclusions set out below, we have defined volunteer as follows: Anyone who gives their time in a position in a non-profit organisation, free of charge, doing something for the good of the community or a voluntary group (for which they may get travelling and other out-of-pocket expenses) and which is not for their own benefit or for the benefit of a close relative. (i)where the person is volunteering directly for a Statutory organisation; or (ii)where the person is volunteering for a non-profit organisation in a position which delivers statutory services under contract or in a specific project, for which that organisation has received funding from the government which includes provision covering the costs of disclosures for volunteers.
