Relevant Change in Circumstances
If you hold an Assessment Notice and Working with Children (WWC) Check card you must inform your employer, agency or volunteer organisation (where relevant) and the Department of Justice in writing within seven days if you have a relevant change in circumstances. For example, if you are a card holder or applicant and have been charged or found guilty of a new relevant offence.
If you have been issued with a Negative Notice you may re-apply for a WWC Check without waiting the required five-year period if one of the conditions set out in section 25(2) of the Working with Children Act 2005 applies to you. For example, if your criminal conviction is overturned or you are found not guilty of a relevant charge.
