Specifically, a registered person does not need to make available information relating to a volunteer’s full employment history as set out at paragraph 7 of Schedule 3 to the 2014 Regulations, unless it is a case to which regulation 4, 6 or 7 of the 2014 Regulations applies.
Regulation 4 of the 2014 Regulations sets out information requirements in relation to service providers where the service provider is an individual or partnership. Regulation 6 of the 2014 Regulations relates to requirements for service providers where an individual is employed as a director, manager or secretary of the service provider, and is responsible for supervising the management of the carrying on of the regulated activity of the service provider, where the service provider is a body other than a partnership.
