Police check

[drbrit]

Hi, can anybody describe what is required for police background check for a school?

I'm not being hired by the school I am being a voluntary sports coach.

I have a non O marriage visa so I am allowed to do voluntary work on that visa class

[Tod Daniels]

you apply for a background check thru the Special Branch Police office

For some reason I can't get the link to jump
 

It's the Police Clearance Service Center in Bangkok

Thanks Tod, useful.

I was hoping to avoid a trip to BKK police HQ for this.

People the the school I will be volunteering at say it can be done in Rayong and Chonburi where I reside.

Personally I wouldn't be happy with some random volunteer at a school if I had a child at that school.

The fact that these questions are being asked on a public forum give me cause for concern!

I would have thought that any "teacher" looking for employment in any school and especially a foreign school would have done a lot of home work (no pun intended) and sorted all this out before hand!

Or, it's possible that the OP is considering volunteering to fill up some idle time, instead of polishing a barstool all day, every day.  And this is a step in that direction.

That would give me even more cause for concern!

Why?  I get asked a couple of times a year if I'd stop by a school and just practice conversational English with the kids.  Both in Thailand and in China.  Their mechanically adequate English skills could use some real world polishing, from taking to a native speaker.

 

If my schedule changes and frees up some predictable time, my first step would be to get legal.  That means a police check.  Nothing nefarious about it.  We're not all here for the beer and the broads.

A school that knows you is totally different to some foreigner just turning up and wanting to coach your kids!

How dare you. I have another business that occupies most of my day and I am volunteering to coach volleyball at a school because I played volleyball at national league level in the UK. So...screw you lowlife

I've been supporting the school for years including careers seminars and lectures.

As I am a former national league volleyball player in the UK I thought I could help coach their newly set up teams 

 

They just want a background check to cover any risk, even though they have known me for years

Understood but I have been parent at the school many years and support them with careers advice seminars, lectures and various events constantly

I volunteered to coach their volleyball teams as I was a player in UK at national League level.

 

People accusing me of being a pervert or needing to find an activity other than whoring or bar fly in this form frankly disgusting me

Oh and by the way not random volunteer. The school asked me to do it as they know me very well and learned I was a national league level volleyball player in UK

How dare me what?  Defend you from someone accusing you of having nefarious intent?

 

Last time I'll do that...

Not a teacher looking for a job. I have another job in technology 

The school asked me to be coach because they have known me many years giving lectures to the school, to sports events and as a national level volleyball player in the UK 

 

Amazing how in this area people assume you're a bar fly, pervert, desperate jerk

The reality is I am a career professional who is trying to do some good to young people by imparting my experience

Did you have a work permit for the work you mention there? If your gonna get all touchy with posters who have valid concerns and even one who defended you then I'd also not want you working with children in a sporting atmosphere.

Ok. I'm a former physicist, software engineer, cyber security professional, silicon chip expert.

Fluent Thai speaker and reader, worked her for multinational corporation 30 years

 

The school invited me to me coach as I was national league volleyball player in UK

 

How about you? How's your CV ? Bar owner or just general loser?

The police check question is in order for work permit as volunteer.

 

I'm only touchy on those who are accusing me of grifting, being a bored bar fly trying to get a gig... How disgusting

 

I'm a former physicist, engineer, silicon chip expert from silicon valley big tech....

well known in the school and they asked me to be volleyball coach as I was former national league level player

You accused me of asking because I was trying to fill time instead of filling a bar stool. Disgusting

 Projection?

I was invited by the school as a former national league volleyball player and frequent speaker at schools in the region on technology and business 

 

That was the insult you directly instigated

We get it. You used to play volleyball at a decent level. I get the feeling that you are a good guy, but you're rubbing people up the wrong way, especially when asking for advice. Hence my concern about you working with children.  Regarding your initial question, I have no idea, but if you can help the students, I honestly wish you well. As Impulse said, people do volunteer for altruistic reasons, which I'm all for.

Do men play volleyball? 😜
