LKeyteach Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Sorry I know this has been asked before am being very lazy and not searching for answer. I have a new member of staff starting with me in a few weeks. She is signed up to the update service so can check her clearance. However when she starts with me do I have to start the DBS process all over again. It doesn't make sense tome to start it but the DBS will have her previous employer named and not us. So how does this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how does this work? I think this depends on your policy. I can see no reason (as long as you have checked original documents) to NOT accept a current DBS . You do need to see the passport (for right to work) and something with DOB and current address. As long as you can verify they are who they are. May be proven wrong but have to say I thought this was the point of the new DBS system! ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKeyteach Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 I agree Finleysmaid that this probably the point but wanted to make sure it was notjust my opinion. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 from the statutory framework 24 DBS disclosures and barred list information are only issued to the potential employee; providers must check the disclosure and consider whether it contains any information that would suggest the person was unsuitable for the position, before an individual starts work with children. Where a potential or existing employee has subscribed to the online DBS Update service, providers should check the status of the disclosure. Where the check identifies there has been a change to the disclosure details, a new enhanced DBS disclosure must be applied for. Before accessing the DBS update service consent to do so must be obtained from the member of staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKeyteach Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thank you. I wonder what is considered a change to the details? Would new employer be a change? Or a change of address? More probable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
