5. Accepting an existing disclosure If you have a University of Warwick DBS check that was issued after the 17 th of June 2013, then you may be able to use this check for your placement. Please e-mail disclosures@warwick.ac.uk for further information. disclosures@warwick.ac.uk Unfortunately we cannot accept a disclosure obtained through Warwick Volunteers – this is because volunteer DBS checks are issued free of charge, but WinS does not count as a voluntary activity. Also, if you have a disclosure that was issued by an organisation that is not the University of Warwick, then we will not be able to accept this certificate. You will have to obtain a new DBS check.
