Please note: To help safeguard everyone who uses our services, Citizens Advice requires criminal record checks for all volunteers who work directly with clients, particularly when the role involves contact with legally defined vulnerable adults or children. At the same time, we’re firmly committed to equal opportunities and ensure that no one is unfairly excluded because of past convictions. With the exception of sexual offences against a child or vulnerable adult, all other offences are considered individually. We take into account factors such as any potential risk to clients, the circumstances and relevance of the offence, how long ago it occurred, and the overall reputation of the organisation.
