CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK (Vulnerable Sector Screening)

Durham Youth Services is committed to the protection and safety of its clients, participants, employees, and volunteers and responsible for recruiting individuals with the personal and professional qualifications essential to ensuring the best possible Nightstop experience for volunteers and the youth we support. Therefore, Vulnerable Sector Screening is part of the recruitment process for all employees and volunteers. Any costs associated with obtaining Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS) will be reimbursed by Durham Youth Services Nightstop program.

Durham Youth Services will only accept original Vulnerable Sector Screenings dated no later than six months prior to the offer of volunteering. Only applicants that are deemed not to present a current risk to the health and safety of our clients will proceed to the next stage of the process. All applicants must submit a Vulnerable Sector Screening with negative results prior to being accepted as a volunteer.

Any information given will be kept confidential. Durham Youth Services would like to stress that having a conviction will not necessarily prevent you from gaining a volunteer placement with us.
