Filling Out the eVetting Form

• Phone number
• Role being vetted for
• Current address
• Name of Organisation

All the fields on the form must be filled in. Make sure the information you have entered is correct and complete before you send it. If there are mistakes or incomplete information the process it can cause the processes to be delayed significantly.

In addition to filling out the form you must provide proof of identity to the Dojo Champion or Child Protection Officer, which should be photocopied or scanned.

Important

Guidelines for filling in the paper form

• You must use BLOCK CAPITALS, allowing one letter or character per box.

• Use a ball point pen.
• Guidelines for what should go in each field are included with the form. Please read them carefully.
