What is the Orientation Interview? If my application is unsuccessful will I get my deposit back? What is a police check?

As part of our ‘Responsible Approach’, each participant must provide a police check or “Subject Access”. This is a summary of data which is held about you on the National Police Computer (NPC). It will cost approximately £10 and takes between 30 and 40 days to be issued. You can usually download the application forms from your local police force website (look for links for “Freedom of Information” on their website).

Your local police station should also be able to provide you with relevant forms over the counter. Once your Subject Access has been issued, please send the original to BUNAC. If you already hold a CRB from an existing or recent employer issued within 3 months we can accept this as an alternative to the Subject Access.

What medical advice does BUNAC offer?

Volunteer Placement

How many people take part in the programme? What is the arrival orientation? How do I choose my project? How many hours will I work for? Will I be placed with other volunteers? Can I go for less than 2 months? Can I extend my stay? Will there be opportunities to travel during my stay? How much spending money should I take? How can I find out more?
