The 911制品is an umbreall body for criminal record enhanced disclosure checks and can help affiliated clubs and organisations and 911制品Recognised Training Centres to access Criminal Records checks on volunteers or staff who will work with young people or adults at risk
The 911制品can process criminal record disclosure checks across England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland through the following service provider:
AccessNI is the organisation who processes criminal record checks for Northern Ireland
The Disclosure and Baring Service provides criminal disclosure checks for people in England and Wales
PVG is the scheme which processes criminal record checks for Scotland through Volunteer Scotland
In Scotland, anyone whose role involves 'regulated work' should now be a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme, including those previously checked under the old Disclosure scheme. Legislation is currently going through the Scottish Parliament which will introduce a number of changes to the criminal records disclosure and PVG process.
If you are interested in using the 911制品as an umbrella body for processing your club/centre enhanced disclosure checks, please contact the 911制品Safeguarding team on disclosure@rya.org.uk and request an information pack. A service level agreement will need to be completed between your organisations nominated Disclosure Coordinator and the 911制品prior to being given access to the service. The information pack will provide the Disclosure Coordinator with all the guidance they will need to process the checks and this includes access to a closed Facebook Support Group.
