Police may hold relevant information that they are unwilling to disclose for privacy, confidentiality, or law enforcement reasons, and (through a process known as the ‘red stamp process') may recommend against unsupervised access to children or vulnerable persons.
The basic process
A Volunteer is given SchoolSafe personal goal card on initial sign-in. This is shown on their home page. The card briefly outlines the purpose and links to the goal/school/safe starting page.
The schoolSafe page has more information on the process and instructions that the volunteer must follow to complete identity verification and police vet process.
Forms are filled in and submitted - either manually or online
Forms are submitted to the Police Vet Service by Voluntarily Agent.
When a result is returned (up to 20 days) the Voluntarily agent will
go to the people list, enter the name of the person and get their profile details
click issue badge button and issue the schoolReady badge.
if the vet process fails no badge will be issued and the goal removed, depending on policy the account may be made inactive or placed on hold.
When the badge has been issued the volunteer will receive an email about the new badge. The goal card will show as completed and the badge icon will appear on their profile and in the interested list for opportunity organisers.
if the badge reaches its expiry date it will trigger the process again.
