FSFRebecca Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ofsted have updated their guidance regarding adults working in settings prior to the receipt of their DBS clearance. It is made clear that adults without DBS clearance should not be alone with children at any time. This update, published 10/10/18, Clarified the guidance in Annex 2 about individuals who start work in settings before their DBS certificates are available "If an early years setting allows an individual to start work in a regulated activity before their DBS certificate is available, they should ensure that the person is never left in unsupervised contact with children, and that they are in the process of obtaining a DBS certificate for that individual."

Stargrower Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 We've just been in exactly this situation and it's good to know we were doing the right thing. Thank goodness DBS checks are so speedy now and gone are the days when they used to take weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
