Safeguarding check documents

Academic Families is a Safer Recruiter with safeguarding at the forefront of everything we do.

The below form requests details about your driving licence, collecting ID to create a Disclosure and collecting your two referees' details.

Please read the below information before starting this form.

Driver documentation

So we can be sure that all drivers are suitable to drive our students, we need to see the driving licence and DVLA status for all adults driving our students.

You need to log in to DVLA to create your DVLA code - as you would to hire a car.  Once you share this code with us we will be able to confirm your driving licence status. To log into DVLA, you need your driving licence and National Insurance numbers as well as your postcode.

Disclosure ID document upload

Before starting this form, please have the following documents ready to be uploaded -

  • Two documents that contain a photo ID (eg. Passport and Driving Licence)
    • These must be in a format that you can upload to an online form (e.g. scans or photos of the documents)
  • One physical document to confirm your address (eg. Utilities bill or statement)
    • This must be in a format that you can upload to an online form (e.g. a scan or photo of the document)
    • This must be from within the last 3 months
    • E-bills cannot be accepted - only bills or statements received in the post. If you only receive e-bills, please request a posted bill or statement from your provider.

Referee details

Please have the names and email addresses of one personal referee and one professional referee who you have known for longer than two years.

Please complete a separate form for each member of your household aged 16+.
