Protection Certificate
(ICPC)
Application form
Version 3.0
The International Child Protection Certificate is used to ensure the safeguarding of children in schools/other
organisations outside the UK. It provides information to those organisations who currently do not have a
route to determine a person’s suitability to be in contact with children. It should not be considered an
alternative to an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (or check from another
disclosure service). Where an organisation has access to such a disclosure scheme there is no requirement to
obtain an International Child Protection Certificate. Please check that an International Child Protection
Certificate will be accepted as the validity of this document is at the discretion of the organisation.
This certificate will disclose details of any convictions, impending prosecutions, cautions, reprimands,
absolute/conditional discharges, warnings, and current investigations you may have in accordance with the
ACRO step-down model (see terms and conditions) as well as results of intelligence checks. Any intelligence
disclosed is deemed relevant for disclosure by the Chief Constable of the associated police force. By
submitting this application you are agreeing to checks on UK police databases and for relevant disclosure.
Note: only use the latest version of the application form which can be accessed via the ACRO website at
www.acro.police.uk. Your application may be delayed if you use an older version of the form.
Payment
Standard service - £75.00 - 10 working days to process (Saturday, Sunday and UK bank holidays are not working days)
The day the application is received and the day the certificate is sent out is not included in the 10
processing days. Please also allow reasonable time for delivery of certificate.
The payment covers the processing of the certificate and standard return postage, either first class Royal
Mail or standard airmail for international post. Please allow extra time if the application is made near, or
during public holidays.
Please be advised that your application may be subject to significant delays if searches of other police/law
enforcement databases are required, or if you are subject to an impending prosecution. Failure to disclose
previous arrests, cautions etc. could also lead to significant delays. If this is the case we are unable to
provide timescales for the release of your certificate.
We advise that you DO NOT arrange travel or accommodation until you have received your certificate. ACRO
cannot be held liable for any costs associated with any failure to meet such plans or losses incurred should
there be a delay with your certificate.
