4.3 Levels of Vetting Check
It is sometimes the case that when one level of vetting check is difficult to obtain there may be a lower level that can be applied for instead. The Safeguarding Officer will need to have a look at each country’s local government website to see if there are other options available.
We would advise that:
- The applicant attempts to obtain the highest level of vetting check (this sometimes involves having fingerprints taken).
- If this is not possible, they should provide evidence to demonstrate their attempt.
- Check to see if a lower level of vetting check is obtainable.
- If all reasonable attempts have been made and evidence has been provided to demonstrate this, then a safeguarding reference can be requested in lieu of a vetting check.
