This online training course on Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks is designed for teachers and school staff, providing comprehensive instruction on various aspects. Participants will learn about the purpose and procedures of the DBS, including how to request a basic check and handle disputes or appeals. The course also covers distinguishing between prohibition and interim prohibition orders, alternative methods for obtaining a DBS check, and accessing additional information and support.
In educational settings, undergoing a DBS check is a legal obligation during staff recruitment to ensure the safety of students.

Valid DBS checks for teachers and volunteers are crucial, sometimes even required as evidence during inspections, to uphold the safety standards within educational environments.
