DBS Checking

The importance of safeguarding

At our company, the safety and well-being of children and vulnerable adults are paramount. We understand the responsibility we have in ensuring their protection, which is why we have implemented stringent measures to maintain the highest level of safety.

Thorough Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks

One of the key steps we take to ensure the safety of children is by conducting thorough Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks on all staff members those who work closely with children such as teachers.

The DBS check is a comprehensive background check that examines an individual’s criminal record and any relevant information that might pose a risk to the safety of others. By conducting these checks, we can identify any potential risks and make informed decisions about the suitability of our staff members to work with vulnerable individuals

Enrolment To The Update Service

In addition to the initial DBS checks, we also enrol our staff members on the Update Service. The Update Service is a system that allows individuals to keep their enhanced DBS certificate up to date.

By regularly updating their certificates, our staff members can demonstrate their commitment to maintaining a secure environment for children and vulnerable adults. This ongoing monitoring ensures that any new information or changes to an individual’s criminal record are promptly identified and assessed.

Enrolling on the Update Service not only provides peace of mind for us as an organization, but it also reassures our clients that we are taking every possible measure to ensure their safety.

Maintaining a Secure Environment

By prioritising the safety of children, we create an environment where they can thrive and feel protected. Our commitment to conducting thorough DBS checks and enrolling our staff members on the Update Service demonstrates our dedication to maintaining the highest level of safety.

We understand the importance of ongoing vigilance and regularly updating our staff members’ certificates. This ensures that we are aware of any changes in their background that may affect their suitability to work with vulnerable individuals.

By implementing these measures, we can provide our clients with the assurance that their loved ones are in safe hands and that we are doing everything possible to protect their well-being.
