Some volunteers will be required to hold a Blue Card. Volunteers who are required to hold a Blue Card must hold the Blue Card prior to any volunteering. 

​Volunteers (unless exempt) will need a Blue Card if working at a school and they are providing services to children or conducting activities with children. You can apply for your blue card here: Apply for a blue card​
