Provisional Appointments are for those adults seeking a Warranted Appointment for the first time or, in some cases, changing warranted roles.
Provisional Appointments are made locally and expire five months from the date of issue.
During the period of the Provisional Appointment, four processes must take place:
a Personal Enquiry;
the relevant Getting Started modules must be completed;
a Personal Learning Plan must be produced;
the adult must attend a meeting with the appropriate Appointments sub-Committee.
A Provisional Appointment may only be renewed once by the District Commissioner or County Commissioner as appropriate in consultation with the appropriate Appointments sub-Committee.
Holders of Provisional Appointments must not have unsupervised access to young people until a satisfactory final response from Headquarters to the Personal Enquiry has been received.
Ultimate responsibility for ensuring the processes in b) are completed, including ensuring that minimum safety standards are met, rests with the District Commissioner or County Commissioner as appropriate.
