Finding the right level of DBS check can be challenging for organisations, and with this in mind we have built a strong relationship with our local DBS Outreach Officer.
In 2023 we co-hosted a webinar in collaboration with Community First Oxfordshire to look at the right level of check. This included resources on what levels are available and what activities need to be considered to determine the right level of check.
As the guidance does change, we provide these links below and contact details in order for you to consider them and encourage anyone to contact the DBS service directly with questions and queries.
