Hi I'm looking at volunteering next year, it will require a dbs and working with children... I'm just wondering how much to share!

I'm not sure if it's going to ask about any social services involvement and then ultimately the 'why'...anyone have experience to share?

Im not with my ex and he wouldn't be involved at all.

Hi,

nothing should flag on your dbs. If there is a question about prior ss involvement on the application I'd probably say something along the lines of "ss involvement from x date to x date due to ex partner/father of children's criminal record"

I hope you get on well. Remember you haven't done anything wrong xxx

I volunteer with children. Had no issues with my Disclosure Scotland which I think is the same thing. Told those in charge about my situation and they were absolutely fine. This volunteering gives me purpose to my weekend and through it I've made some wonderful new friends
