Libraries volunteering application

Thank you for your interest in applying to volunteer. Volunteering within the Royal Borough may involve regular or substantial contact with children or vulnerable adults and so you will be required to have a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS). We are unable to allow you to begin your volunteering until a satisfactory DBS has been received. When we have received your application, you will be invited for an informal meeting with us. We will be able to discuss the volunteering options that suit your interests, availability, as well as enable us to plan for training needs. For this meeting, we will also ask you to bring some identification documents. This allows us to submit the DBS application online.
