Free DBS Workshop – Eligibility, ID, and how to support people with obtaining DBS Checks Inbox

February 11 at 10:00 am - 11:30 am

As part of the DBS regional offer to North East VCSE Organisations, I have devised a webinar which is targeted for organisations that work to support people into volunteering opportunities. This workshop will look at DBS eligibility; and in particular what to do when DBS ID validation routes cannot be used. This would be useful for organisations who support those seeking asylum and refugees into volunteering opportunities; as well as any organisations who support people into volunteering placements when the typical ID routes cannot be utilised.

Please do feel free to book onto a webinar yourself; and please send this email onto any organisations in your network who would benefit from this offer.

The links in this email can be used to book onto the webinars. You only need to book onto one session – both sessions cover the same content which is outlined below:

 

DBS and North East VCSE Organisations – Eligibility, ID, and how to support people with obtaining DBS Checks

Appropriate for those in North East VCSE Organisations who need to give advice and make decisions about what levels of DBS checks should be applied for; and those who work to support people into volunteering opportunities – in particular those where typical DBS ID routes cannot be followed.

The aim of this workshop is to understand:

  • the benefits of DBS and you (employer or voluntary organisation) working together
  • the different levels of DBS check and when an employee is eligible for a check
  • what ‘regulated activity’ is
  • what the fingerprint route is and when to use it
  • the safe recruitment practices that can be in place, with DBS checks forming a part of these
  • Q&A
