We normally undertake recruitment campaigns twice a year by advertising and offering the opportunity to enquirers to discuss their interests with a social worker. There is no obligation assumed.
Any enquiries received at other times will be responded to with information and perhaps a one-off visit by a social worker, but usually we ask that those with an interest wait until the next recruitment programme is underway, so that they can be part of the group preparation courses that are run.
Normally we require that applicants attend preparation courses. These usually comprise a whole day session and 6 evening meetings.
