Certificate of good conduct extended
Persons who are or are to work professionally, voluntarily or in any other way close to children and young people need an extended certificate of good conduct. This includes, among other things, activities with public youth welfare agencies, in schools and in sports clubs for minors.
The extended certificate of good conduct is intended to prevent the employment of applicants with relevant criminal records in sensitive areas. These include, for example, activities as
- Educator,
- teacher,
- school bus driver,
- lifeguard,
- Sports trainer.
The extended certificate of good conduct includes convictions that are not in the normal certificate of good conduct, e.g. because they were not sentenced to a fine of more than 90 daily rates. The extension refers only to sexual offences and to child and youth-related offences such as "abuse of wards" or "violation of the duty of care or education".
