I volunteered for a school trip whilst there I discussed with the teachers about volunteering for reading etc.
I said I would be happy to help, the admin office then emailed a volunteering application form, my education, employee history, two referees and a section to fill in giving reasons why I want to volunteer… that’s before a DBS check… am I being unreasonable thinking this is asking too much?
I currently volunteer with a Brownie Pack and was only ever asked to fill in a DBS form.
AIBU?

DBS covers all of that, or at least the enhanced one does. I've just done mine.

I mean it's a good rated Catholic school and I have two children in infants. But maybe a bit lax reading this, I am alone-ish in the library with a lone child. TA's might bob in to get something.
I wouldn't imagine a parent would volunteer at their child's school with the intention to qbuse though, or maybe I'm being extremely naive.
I'm also a parent chaperone for my child's drama school & that was through the council and I did need an interview, etc thinking on!
