Basic Disclosure

You are required to obtain a basic disclosure certificate prior to going abroad. 

A basic disclosure is a criminal record check which shows that you have no criminal convictions. To comply with our safeguarding commitments, it is essential that Project Trust receives a copy of your basic disclosure certificate before your departure. 

A basic disclosure certificate is also required for visa applications for some countries.  Please refer to the instructions provided by the International Programme team when you receive your final country allocation. 

Once you have obtained the basic disclosure certificate, please scan a copy to Project Trust and bring the original with you to your training course.  

If you require a basic disclosure certificate for your visa, please take a copy of the certificate before sending it away with your visa application. 

Regardless of where you are based in the UK, you must use the instructions below to apply for basic disclosure. If you are not a UK citizen, please contact Project Trust’s International Programme team (01879 230444) as soon as possible for further instruction.
