Latest news on the Bill
The Bill failed to complete its passage through Parliament before the end of the session. This means the Bill will make no further progress.Summary of the Bill
The Bill would provide for the introduction of a 'fit and proper person certificate', which would fulfil the requirement for background checks for potential volunteers. The certificate would be a signed declaration by a potential volunteer stating that they had not been convicted of an offence. For volunteers aged under 18, the certificate would be countersigned by a parent or guardian.
The Bill would also amend the Police Act 1997 to take account of the introduction of the new certificate.
