DBS & Safeguarding

(Previously known as a CRB) The requirements for these have changed and it is not a requirement that all Coaches have these. The Safeguarding requirement is for those that REGULARLY come into contact with children or vulnerable adults.

The definition of 'regular' is vague. BKCA recommends that all L3 coaches do have a DBS certificate and also attends a Safeguarding course. This is for your own protection. The definition of safeguarding has also changed. Previously known as 'Children and vulnerable people' it has now been split into two sections, one for children and one for adults. A course for 'working with the disabled' is also recommended.
