Check the children's barred list
Check if a new employee can work with children while you wait for Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.
Applies to England
As a recruiting organisation there are pre-appointment checks you need to make before an employee can work with children.
You must have a legitimate interest in the person you are checking. This means you have engaged or are considering engaging them in regulated activity.
The children바카라 사이트檚 barred list is usually checked as part of a new employee바카라 사이트檚 enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
Recruiting organisations can check the children바카라 사이트檚 barred list separately if the new employee:
- will start working with children while waiting for the result of an enhanced DBS check
- only needs a barred list check and not an enhanced DBS check because they바카라 사이트檝e worked with children or young people in a school or college within the last 3 months prior to appointment
