Your organisation may be one that requires Government (or other organisational) checks to be carried out on volunteers who are performing certain roles. If this is the case, the checking process can be monitored and recorded through the thankQ Volunteers module.
Volunteer checks may require a form to be sent to an agency for checking or the organisation may do self-applications (meaning that the approval is done within the organisation). Both of these situations are catered for in the Volunteer Checks screen.
Not all these fields need to be filled in when you are setting up the initial application as it is expected that this information will be filled in as the application is processed.
