The University encourages staff to get involved in volunteering through the Cares initiative.
On 1 December 2012 the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) merged to form the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). As a result 'CRB checks' are now called 'Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)' checks.
Active Volunteers helps students and staff find volunteering opportunities within the local community. We do not promote or recommend international volunteering opportunities. If you are interested in volunteering abroad, visit Volunteering England which has useful advice and guidance about volunteering overseas and the Vacancies and Opportunities section of our website.
