Minutes:
The report of the Director of Central Services referred to a review by Internal Audit of the Council’s safeguarding procedures which resulted in a recommendation to adopt a standalone policy on ensuring that staff had the relevant level of DBS check. A new Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Policy was accordingly presented for consideration. This defined the different types of disclosure and regulated activity against which all posts must be considered and a full list of Council posts requiring a DBS check was set out in Annex 2 to the report.
RECOMMENDED: That the new DBS Policy, as set out at Annex 1 to the report, be adopted as a standalone policy separate from the Safeguarding Policy.
