Applying to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
All applicants and any other individuals connected with the application must complete a DBS check for childminders and childcare providers online to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. They are also required to join the DBS update service.
Ofsted’s DBS checks are processed by Capita. Read Ofsted guidance on DBS checks for childcare providers to find out how to apply for a check and assist with any related questions.
