I have an enhanced CRB check in conjunction with the woodland project I volunteer with. Offically I am a volunteer for my county council, so they are the sponsoring body and I filled in the form as such.
I am about to begin a private venture running a few simple sessions on the odd evening at a small local campsite. This is likely to be unpaid, or at the most will just cover my meagre expenses, and so I will not be a volunteer, an employee or a contractor of this business. I already have public liability cover, first aid certification and basic food hygiene.
As fas as I can make out from reading the various government bumf on the new system (DBS Disclosure and Barring Service), there is no guidance to fit what I plan to do.
As I will never be working alone with children (parents will always be present), my instinct is to advise the campsite owners to satisfy themselves that I am a fit person (sight of my documents) and then to operate like that on trust, you know how we used to.
What say you?
Again, I stress that I will not be a contractor, volunteer or employee, hence my unusual request.
