DBS Need to know

What is a DBS?

A DBS (previously CRB) is a 'criminal record' background check performed by the Government. It is needed every time someone applies to work with vulnerable groups of people, who many include the elderly, children under the age of 18 or children and adults with physical or mental disabilities.

You may need a DBS to go on work experience. Talk to the Head of Learning Resources and Careers Debbi Hodson if you have any queries, either by emailing Debbi.Hodson@blackpoolsixth.ac.uk or by coming down to the Futures office in the FYI to make an appointment.
