To DBS Or Not To DBS – That Is The Question?
Many assumptions are made about ‘checking’ newcomers to an organisation – for example that everyone needs to have a DBS check.
We’re organising an online session with the regional representative from the Disclosure and Barring Service to help answer some of those basic questions and get a clearer picture of who should – and who shouldn’t – go through clearance.
The session will be particularly useful for volunteer managers and supporters, and will include:
- Outlining the role of the Disclosure and Barring Service.
- Understanding DBS checks and role eligibility, including levels of check and workforce
- How “regulated activity” with children and adults is defined and what this means in practice.
- An organisation’s duties and responsibilities in regards to referring to the DBS.
- Understand the DBS barring process and the consequences of being placed on one or both barred lists.
- How to get support from DBS.
