As part of Safeguarding Adults Week, the Ann Craft Trust are collaborating with the DBS to bring you a free webinar discussing safe and fair recruitment.
This session will be delivered by Cathy Taylor, a Regional Outreach Manager at the DBS and Cath Sykes, Safeguarding Adults in Unregulated Sport and Activity Officer for the Ann Craft Trust.
The session will cover:
- The different levels of DBS checks available
- How to decide what level of check a role is eligible for when working with adults.
- Common questions and queries organisations have regarding DBS checks.
There will be then an opportunity to ask questions you have about DBS processes and procedures. If you would like to put a question forward before the session, you can either include this on the notes in your booking form or email ann-craft-trust@nottingham.ac.uk
The session will be hosted online on Thursday 24 November from 11am-12pm.
You can learn more about safe recruitment processes on our website.
