CCPAS - Disclosure Service

Charges
The recommended donation for membership to CCPAS is £80.00 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 £48.00 (incl VAT). This covers the £36.00 fee levied by the CRB plus the same administrative charge for volunteer checks.

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.

If you are a large organisation or denomination (processing a minimum of around 1000 checks per year), please call our Disclosure Manager, Barbara Ball, on 0845 120 45 49 to discuss our bespoke membership scheme and rates.

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). Disclosures are also a means for checking the ISA barred lists for children and/or vulnerable adults, depending on whether the applicant is working with either or both of these groups. It might also contain information held by local police forces.

CCPAS Disclosure Document
We have produced a comprehensive document detailing what the Criminal Records Bureau is and how churches and organisations in England and Wales can obtain disclosure checks on their workers (paid and volunteers) through the CCPAS Disclosure Service. We are registered as an ‘umbrella body'. Please click on the links on the left.

If, after reading the CCPAS Disclosure Document, you need further advice, please contact our disclosure team on 0845 120 45 49.
