Report action taken under a volunteer bat roost visitor licence
Use this form to report any action taken under a volunteer bat roost visitor licence.
Applies to England
You must report any action taken under a Volunteer Bat Roost Visitor survey licence (level 1 or level 2). You must submit the form even if no action is taken.
If you do not complete the form, you will no longer be registered to use your licence.
If you are also registered under a CL17, CL18, CL19 or CL20 bat survey class licence, you must also complete the survey return form.

You must submit your report of action by 30 November each year.
When the class licences were renewed in January 2025, the condition was reverted back to a 12-month reporting period. Which is 1 November to 31 October each year.
Before you start
You must:
- know the names of volunteers you have trained and whether they completed the training in the current reporting period (if you have a CL16 licence)
- have submitted all your volunteer bat roost visitor reports for the current reporting period to the Bat Conservation Trust
