North West Volunteer Centre is a registered Umbrella Body with Access NI providing a discreet, professional vetting service for employers and voluntary organisations within Northern Ireland. We have been providing this service since the inception of Access NI in April 2008 and administer over 1000 disclosure checks per year.
We offer enhanced, standard and basic checks.
We have dedicated and knowledgeable staff who are on hand to provide your organisation with the necessary guidance to use the service. As an organisation, you can register for the vetting service by completing an Organisation Registration Form and Access NI User Agreement. Individuals can download the PIN Notification and ID verification form to follow instructions and complete online.
Please also access this link to the Access NI website for further guidance.
We are committed to helping volunteers access opportunities therefore our Access NI vetting service is primarily about reducing barriers to participation and enabling voluntary groups to make safe recruitment decisions when involving volunteers. We do not receive funding to deliver the service therefore we do have small administration fees in addition to any Access NI fees for enhanced disclosure applications. Fees are £5.00 for a volunteer role and £43.00 for paid posts (Enhanced check including a £10 fee) and £28 for Basic or Standard check.
Individuals wishing to apply for an Access NI must set up or log into their own account with NIDirect.gov first. If its the first time setting up a NI Direct.gov account this may take time for a manual verification. Only when the account is verified is when you can proceed with an Access NI application.
Cash is accepted along with Card payments. Contact us for invoicing arrangements
