  • I. FINANCES

    The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a faith venture.  Each member of YWAM lives a life of faith, no one receives a salary, and each one has large objectives of faith which they believe God to provide for every year.  Your objective of faith is the DTS fees. 

    We expect all our trainees to come with payment of all school fees upon or before arrival at the school (unless prior arrangements have been made). We understand that at the start of the application (especially when it is several months in advance) many trainees have not yet raised all their funds. We ask however, that you complete the questions below to the best of your understanding.

    We will send you a detailed financial policy and ways to pay your fees (including the Registration Fee) once you have submitted your application.

    All financial amounts need to be in Great British Pounds/Sterling (£)

  • J. CHRISTIAN AND LIFE EXPERIENCE

     The DTS is a very special time as you grow "to know God and make Him known".  Please answer these confidential questions which will help to support you throughout this journey. 

    Please feel free to write as much as you think we would need to know to challenge, inspire and equip you to get the most out of your DTS.  The text boxes are not limited on character length.

  • 3. FAMILY MEMBERS

  • YWAM's foundational value #15 is Value Family. "YWAM affirms the importance of families serving God together in missions, not just the father and/or mother. We encourage the development of strong and healthy family units, with each member sharing the call to missions and contributing their gifts in unique and complementary ways."

    Because of this we ask that married couples would do the course together with their dependants where applicable.

     

  • SPOUSE INFORMATION

     

  • Due to accommodation and visa restrictions/requirements, we require that both spouses submit complete application forms for processing.

  • CHILDREN / DEPENDANT INFORMATION

     

  • CHILD / DEPENDANT #1

  • CHILD / DEPENDANT #2

  • CHILD / DEPENDANT #3

  • If you have other children that are accompanying you please contact the registrar with their details. 

  • 4. REFEREES

  • Please nominate three referees who we can contact to give you a character reference - they cannot be your family members.

    1. Church Leader Reference* - We understand that many people go to large churches and so the most senior pastor might not be the best person to write you a reference. Therefore, this could be your youth leader, bible study leader etc
    2. Mature Christian Friend Reference*  - Someone who is mature in their faith, understands your spiritual journey, has challenged you and wants to see you grow. 
    3. Employer / Teacher / YWAM Leader reference (all those who have done DTS should provide a YWAM leader reference). If your employer/teacher has not known you for two years or longer, please nominate an additional mature Christian friend reference.

    - *Should be mature Christians who have known you well (where you’re doing well & where you need to grow) for two or more years.  

    - Employer/teacher should have observed you in a work/course capacity.

  •  

     CRIMINAL OFFENSES

    YWAM England and Wales, as an agency working with children and young people, is exempt from the UK Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) and therefore applicants must declare all previous convictions.

  • Youth With A Mission has a long tradition of working with children, young people, families and vulnerable adults.  As a multigenerational community, we take seriously our responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults throughout their association with us. 

    Due to the nature of the living environment for most of our YWAM teams, with staff and families with small children living in close proximity or working directly with children, young people and/or vulnerable adults, we need to also ask you to complete and sign self-declaration form (below).

    You are also legally required to have a DBS check/Police Check and you won’t be permitted to participate in doing any ministry or outreach until you have successfully obtained one.  This is fairly straight forward and there are clear instructions on how to do it.Once we recieve your application we will send you the details of how to apply for the appropriate Police Record Check. Please email the registrar if you'd like to start that process now (it can take some time).

     

     

  • * DBS Filtering Rules and DBS Filtering Guidelines

  • To help us ensure that we are complying with all relevant safeguarding legislation, please complete the following declaration.

    SAFEGUARDING DECLARATION

    I consent to a criminal records check if appointed to the position for which I have applied. I am aware that details of pending prosecutions, previous convictions, cautions, or bindovers against me will be disclosed along with any other relevant information, which may be known to the police.

    I understand that, if I am a UK resident, a check will be made with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and that it is an offence for any person to commence Regulated Activity without first providing a valid DBS Disclosure. If I am an overseas resident, I understand that I will need to provide a police check from my home nation.

    I agree to inform the person within the YWAM base/team responsible for processing application for Disclosure and Barring Service checks if I am convicted of an offence after I take up any post within YWAM England. I understand that failure to do so may lead to the immediate suspension of my work with children or vulnerable adults and/or the termination of my work/training and association with YWAM.

    I agree to inform the person within YWAM responsible for processing applications for the Disclosure and Barring Service if I become the subject of a police and/or a social services/(Children’s Social care or Adult Social Services)/social work department investigation. I understand that failure to do so may lead to the immediate suspension of my work with children or vulnerable adults and/or the termination of my work/training and association with YWAM.

    I confirm that I am not barred from working with children/vulnerable adults.

  • Those applying for DTS, or other YWAM ministry with children and/or vulnerable adults in positions which fall within the scope of regulated activity, please confirm that you are not barred from working with children/vulnerable adults.

    I confirm that I am not barred from working with children and/or vulnerable adults.

     

  • COMMITMENT

    I have completed all portions of this application truthfully and to the best of my knowledge, and if accepted by Youth With A Mission Limited, I will, under God, abide by the spirit, authority and schedule of the programme.

    I understand that the Discipleship Training School consists of both the lecture phase and the field placement phase, and that by completing this application, I am making a commitment to both phases of the school.

    I confirm that I have read the Financial Policy Sheet and understand that payment of my school fees must be made upon or before my arrival at the school (unless prior arrangements have been made). I therefore undertake to pay all personal expenses during my involvement with YWAM.

    TERMINATION OF INVOLVEMENT

    Youth With A Mission Limited reserves the right to terminate my involvement with them, if I am found to have misled YWAM in any way or if my conduct is prejudicial to the good running of the school or to the reputation of YWAM. I have read this from and accept the terms set in it.

  • CONSENT FOR TREATMENT IN AN EMERGENCY PROVISION

    In the event that I am unable to sign a consent form due to incapacity, I hereby give my consent for any treatment/medical intervention deemed necessary by the attending health care professionals. Whilst YWAM will make every effort to contact my next of kin/emergency contacts, there may be situations where this is not possible. I, therefore, give permission for YWAM to act in my best interests. I recognize that in an emergency situation it is standard operating procedure to always act in the interest of preserving life.

    RELEASE OF LIABILITY

    Though every effort is made to provide a safe environment, Youth With A Mission Limited, their trainees, agents, employees and volunteer assistants are insured against loss or injury caused by the negligence of Youth With A Mission Limited. In the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by Youth With A Mission Limited, participation in a Youth with A Mission Limited organised programme, event or outreach is entirely at the participant’s own risk.

    Accordingly participants are required to have adequate medical insurance for all phases of their involvement with Youth With A Mission Limited.
