Blue cards for religious representatives

You will need a blue card if you are a religious representative and your work includes providing services or conducting  activities with children.

For example if you are:

• a religious leader such as a priest, chaplain, minister or rabbi whose role includes—or may include—providing religious instruction to children
• an employee of a religious organisation and the organisation runs children's activities. For example, if you are a youth leader who runs children's worship groups and/or Sunday school activities.
• an employee of a business promoting spiritual beliefs and guidance to children, even if you don't consider yourself to be part of an organised religion.

A person who represents their church or other religious entity as a religious representative may apply for a blue card as a business operator instead of as an employee.
