Safer Recruitment Checks
All roles eligible for a DBS must hold a DBS issued within the last three years. If your DBS is still valid (within the last three years), no action is required. If your DBS is older than three years, a new DBS needs to be put in place.
Please note: Due to the likely increase in DBS applications, processing times may be longer than usual. The parish Safeguarding Team appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition.
