Islam teaches us specific methods by which to deal with the passing of our fellow human beings.

There are rules by which we have to conduct appropriate prayers, preparation and burial.

Bereaved families are not always familiar with the spiritual and legal requirements around bereavement.

At the Bolton Council of Mosques we have established a fully supported burial service for the Muslim community that meets both these requirements.

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is a Non Public body helping the employers make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable Children and Adults. If you are recruiting paid staff or volunteers to work with children under 18 years of age, you will need to obtain a DBS certificate for them.

BCoM is approved by the Disclosure and Barring Services to process the DBS checks for any registered organisation. Most of the DBS checks that we carry out come through our Mosques and Madrasas. We are an authorised signatory body for DBS Applications.

Our charges are: -

1. Volunteer £15 per application
2. Paid staff £55

DBS Application forms can be collected from the office and thereafter an appointment will need to be made for our staff to check over the form and send off on your behalf. For any more clarification please contact our office number 01204 363680 or email us on [email protected]
