Member Event: Understanding DBS Checks – Eligibility Criteria and Barring

During this 2-in-1 workshop you’ll learn about Eligibility Criteria and Barring. We’ll cover: What level of check a role may be eligible for – What each level of checks shows – Filtering rules – What is regulated activity with children and adults – Safer recruitment practices – The update service – Different barring referral routes – Legislation underpinning the barring work – When you are legally required to make a referral – What is harm – Good quality referrals – Consequences and impact. As a safeguarding organisation, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) helps to protect the public by supporting employers to make safer recruitment decisions and by barring individuals who pose a risk to vulnerable groups from working in certain roles. As the regional outreach advisor for the East of England, Georgie works across the region with a number of different organisations to further understanding of the DBS and assist with any queries related to this. As a counter signatory Registered Body, CBR Business Solutions supports businesses and charities with meeting legislative compliance when applying for DBS checks. We offer Basic, Standard and Enhanced checks online and a Standard and Enhanced paper-based service.
