What is a RWVP?
RWVP is a process to decide if someone is suitable to work or volunteer with vulnerable people, including children. It includes background checks and risk assessments of past behaviour to see if someone may pose a risk of harm. If someone is considered suitable, they will be granted a RWVP. This is valid for 5 years.
RWVP is also an ongoing process: once someone has a RWVP, they will continue to be monitored, to help keep vulnerable people, including children, safe.
