The setting manager will have DBS checks completed online in conjunction with Ofsted’s regulations
and statutory requirements.

All staff and parent helpers and volunteers must have a DBS check with a satisfactory outcome to be
involved with and/or work at Felicity’s Fledglings.

It is the responsibility of the setting manager to ensure the setting manger has a clear and up to date
DBS check.

New members of staff must sign up to the online Ofsted update service for DBS checks -
(https://www.gov.uk/dbs-update-service)

Staff must understand that they are expected to disclose any convictions, cautions, court orders,
reprimands and warnings that may affect their suitability to work with children. Staff must tell the
setting manager.

DBS checks must be in place before any adult works directly with the children within the setting.

The setting manager will hold a record of all DBS/CRB checks reference numbers, dates of obtained
disclosers and details of who obtained the check (EYFS).

Staff members are expected to disclose any convictions, cautions, court orders, reprimands and/or
warnings which may affect their suitability to work with children (weather received before or during
their employment at the setting) (section 75 of the Childcare Act). No staff / parent helper or
volunteer member can be in contact with any child at the setting without a completed and clear
DBS/CRB check.

Given the confidential nature of the Disclosure information, the setting manager will ensure that it is
stored securely. Documents will be locked away separately, in lockable storage containers with
access strictly controlled and limited to those who are entitled to see it as part of their duties.

and/or supporting children in the WC areas without appropriate staff supervision.

immediately destroyed by secure means e.g. by shredding. While awaiting the destruction,
Disclosure information will not be kept in any insecure receptacle. We will not keep any photocopy
