The applicant and any directors, partners and any persons nominated as site managers are required to disclose any convictions for any relevant offences and a Basic Disclosure Certificate will need to be provided.
An applicant for a collector’s licence can be made by an individual and must be submitted on the relevant council application form.
The council requests a basic disclosure form, which should be issued no earlier than one calendar month of the licence application being submitted to the licensing authority, this should be for each person named on the application form.
A Basic Disclosure Certificate can be applied for from the Disclosure and Barring Service. If a disclosure certificate is not submitted with the application form this may result in the application being delayed or rejected.
