Are you interested in being a 'Supermentor'?*

We aim to match each mentor with one student per mentoring cycle. Due to changes in sector interests from year to year, in some instances we have asked mentors to volunteer as 'Supermentors' who may be matched up with two students per mentoring cycle if needed. Please answer yes if you would be happy to become a 'Supermentor' if needed.

Social mobility 'opportunity areas'*

We may wish to match students who live in one of the government’s social mobility ‘opportunity areas’ to mentors from the area. If you grew up in one of the areas listed below, and would be interested in mentoring a young person from this area, please select the area from the list.

DBS or PVG Check

Each of our mentors is required to undergo an Enhanced DBS or PVG check in order to clear them to work with young people. This is a simple process, but does require you to present original identification documents such as a passport or driving licence.

Do you have an Enhanced DBS check that was completed within the last six months?*

You will not need to complete a further check if this is the case, but we will need to see a copy of your certificate.

Yes
No

If you live in Scotland, are you currently a member of the PVG scheme?

If yes, we will ask you to complete an Existing PVG Scheme Member form. If no, we will ask you to to complete an Application to Join the PVG Scheme.

If you have worked with young people before are unsure if you are an existing member or not, you can call Disclosure Scotland to check if you have a PVG Scheme ID.

Yes
No

What would be your preferred method of completing your DBS check?*

Drop-in sessions will be held at the SMF offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Newcastle; we will invite you to the relevant office if you would like to drop in to complete the paperwork. Completing the form and showing your documents will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Please bear in mind that if you elect to complete your check by post you will be required to send original documents. These will be returned to you via Special Delivery.

Please confirm that you are aware that you will be required to send original documents (such as a passport or driving licence) through the post if electing to complete a postal DBS check. All documents will be returned by special/recorded delivery within a week of receipt.
