EY2 DBS for committees

I had this the other day, phoned ofsted and got cut off three times so gave up, tweeted them - no response, emailed - still no response so guessed! Then found this document online and typically I had chosen the wrong thing, had a panic thinking capita wouldn't change and I'd have to pay again but thankfully they were very helpful and changed it for us on the phone ?

Yea you can't do ey2 until you have DBS number, mine took two weeks to come through recently! I'd checks annoying too as they want the form scanned and emailed along with the photo of your id eg passport! All takes time, hope you get it sorted soon. I do wish ofsted would have a range of music rather than repeating the same one over and over :-)

We've just done 4 EY2s, when it came to the part asking if a DBS had been done you can click no and continue. I phoned Ofsted as we were doing ours, she said as the setting isn't new, the system allows DBS to be done afterwards. It should be a lot clearer though.

Ours did, it was when we got to that bit I phoned Ofsted, she said we could do it because the system accepted the setting wasnt new. all 4 went through without a problem.

I've been told by ofsted we can't and you can't physically submit on the website without a number, you just get error messages. We are re registering though so don't know if that's different as it's a new registration rather than adding to existing? Who knows!!! Try and submit without lynned55 it'll soon tell you no if you're not allowed!!!!

It wasn't easy to find on the Ofsted site! I think I went to somewhere that looked like I was setting up a new provision. I know it did a search on their site for ey2 and found it once, but not the next time. They certainly don't make it easy! They should have a dedicated space for something like that, with all the information we need, about who needs one, how to do it, what we need to do next etc.

Ridiculous isnt the word Really!! I have tried and tried to submit EY2 without a DBS number and it wont do it- just keep getting error messages- so not sure what the person who spoke to you was talking about.

Some advice now please- When you have all done yours FOR COMMITTEE have you scanned in the ID verification forms? I did three (and paid for them) late July and none have come back yet. However I honestly dont remember sending them or printing anything off for ID. I thought i had just done it all online? Of course i could have completely forgotten forgotten it- as it was the end of term. But I cant find any record of it at all on my pc or in my emails. I would have had to have taken the forms home to scan.

This whole thing is driving me mad. I rang DBS people today -who of course couldnt tell me if they had received anything (data protection) tried to get through to Capita today and gave up in the end as all they could do was offer me various numbers to press on the phone. So I'm now left thinking that I've messed things up totally and not sent them stuff I should have done. It was so much easier back in January- when I did a staff member, just a DBS and through in just over couple of weeks. I suspect that is because Ofsted weren't involved at all. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? the process I mean, not whether I've messed up!!

Oh and I noticed that the update service is no longer a choice As from September it is now compulsory

I got mine done this month, I took my info for checking to my verifier and then scanned stuff and emailed it to them. I expected it would take ages at this time of year, but it's done and on its way apparently. I suspect that if you haven't had emails telling you what to do next, then they are waiting for you to do something. Have you got a reference number for what you've submitted so far?

I have never been able to do without DBS, it won't let you submit it and ofsted confirmed that with me so not sure how others are managing!! With the icf id form you scan and email the form to capita just the filled in pages now, you no longer have to send the copies Of documents! If they have done their online DBS and capita haven't received the icf form they do send the applicant a reminder x

This issue of the number is ringing some bells for me. i seem to recall that it asks for the number and if you don't put one in it gives you a pop up warning box telling you to do so. However, I am sure you can just hit "next" and continue. Worth a try anyway, but I do remember having to make about 4 calls to Ofsted about this.

 

The system is so not user friendly!!
