Last week, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) hosted a webinar for Skills for Care, around DBS checks in the social care sector.

The webinar aimed to improve understanding of:

  • emergency COVID-19 Barred List(s) checks and free-of-charge checks
  • the DBS eligibility tool
  • barring referrals

The webinar can be found online here.

A collection of questions were sent in prior to the webinar and these were answered throughout, but a number of questions were also received throughout the presentation and afterwards. All questions have now been answered and collated in an FAQs document, which can be found below.
