Disclosure and Barring ServiceList Item 4
The Disclosure and Barring Service have launched the Safeguarding Discussions: DBS in Focus podcast series to help employers and safeguarding professionals better understand DBS services and processes.
Each episode will feature a subject matter expert from DBS who will discuss key topics relevant to employers, HR professionals, and those working in safeguarding. We want to help answer our most asked questions, myth-bust some common assumptions and help organisations to understand their safeguarding responsibilities when it comes to DBS checks.
