DBS Discussions: Safeguarding in Focus features subject matter experts from across DBS, tackling common questions and offering practical guidance you can apply in real-world hiring and safeguarding scenarios.
For employers across the UK, the message is simple:
Right to Work compliance can no longer rely on manual processes, fragmented systems, or outdated checks.
Episodes cover key topics including DBS check eligibility, what counts as regulated activity, and how the barring process works.

This series is particularly relevant for:
- HR and recruitment professionals
- Safeguarding leads in education, health and social care
- Voluntary sector organisations
Essentially, anyone who needs a clearer view of what DBS does and how the process works.
