That might be the case for your brigade, but it isn't necessarily the case for any others. Comes down to local policy. Some brigades require Police Clearances now (and quite rightly so). Having said that, no matter what you do, if someone hasn't been busted for doing the wrong thing before, how are you going to weed them out and not get done for discrimination if you deny someone?chrissss wrote:when u apply to become a vollie now u do need 2 references before they accept you.i know thats not much,but its better then nothing i guess.
FESA mentioned a few years ago when someone got caught, that all volunteers were screened.. love to know where that is and how they can even say that, when they dont run or administer bush fire brigades..

AFAIK, I've only had to do police clearance for SES, but then again can't really remember the paperwork for firies. But because I'm working with the new recruits with SES I do get reminded of the number of forms.

that realy ticks me off because people dont look at any of us young Brigade members as being in it to help out the community and bepart of it not all of us young members are dickheads.
i hope they loked him up for good people now aday have no respect for the community they are in.
