DBS Legal Duty to Refer Bitesize for South East Local Authorities

This short 1 hour webinar is suitable for anyone wanting a refresher on the "Legal Duty to Refer" process within DBS.

This session will be hosted by Kelly Matthews, DBS Regional Outreach Adviser for the South East of England. Kelly works with all organisations in the region, no matter their size or sector, to help them understand the importance of safeguarding and DBS checks. If you are involved in managing safeguarding concerns, this webinar will be useful for you!

Organisations who employ individuals or have volunteers who carry out regulated activity with children or adults have a legal duty to refer to DBS if certain conditions are met. This webinar is designed to support organisations to understand their legal duty to refer. This session is suitable for those who already have an understanding of Barring referrals and would like a refresher, with plenty of time for questions.

If you are an organisation who has a large number of individuals you would like to attend a workshop please contact dbsregionaloutreach@dbs.gov.uk and we can arrange providing direct support.

If you are a member of the public and would like more information about DBS checks please see gov.uk/dbs or contact Customer Services 03000 200 190
