An opportunity to network and share!

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is an important part of safeguarding and safer recruitment but not everyone understands what the service does and the benefits of DBS and employers/volunteer involvers working together.

This session will help you understand when a DBS Barring referral should be made, including when the legal duty is met, outline the three different referral routes and how to make a good quality referral, clarify issues around regulated activity, demonstrate the consequences of not making appropriate barring referrals and the consequences of being included in one or both Barred Lists.
