Checks depend on the activity

Roles with safeguarding responsibilities get the right checks and training first.

KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE

Checks depend on the activity

Not everyone who runs an activity needs a DBS check. Roles involving regulated activity, unsupervised work with children or adults at risk, or other safeguarding-sensitive responsibilities will have the right checks first - and relevant safeguarding training.
