You would like to volunteer as a parent at your child’s school but you have a past conviction for a serious criminal offence. Do you:
(a)
‘Ignore’ it because it happened a long time ago and your life has moved on. So you sign the volunteer declaration and commence volunteer work.
(b)
Decide against becoming a volunteer
(c)
Seek a confidential meeting with the Principal or contact Blue Card Services to see if the past conviction affects your eligibility to meet the Blue Card criteria. Follow their advice.
