DBS Harmful Behaviour Outside of the Workplace

The DBS Regional Outreach team provides advice and guidance to both employers and voluntary organisations on DBS products and services. This includes supporting organisations to understand eligibility for DBS checks and helping to ensure that they are requesting the correct level of check for the role, as well helping understand when their legal duty to make a referral to DBS is met.

Explore how harmful behaviour displayed outside work/voluntary settings may impact upon safeguarding and could lead to someone being included in a barred list and hear about other types of harm that may be less well known but should still be considered for referral to DBS.

The workshop will cover:

• What we mean by ‘harmful behaviour’
• Safeguarding, Abuse and Neglect
• Relevant Conduct and Risk of Harm
• Harmful behaviour and the transferability of risk
• How to make a barring referral to DBS
  

Please note we cannot discuss individual cases during the session.

If you are an organisation who has a large number of individuals you would like to attend a workshop please contact dbsregionaloutreach@dbs.gov.uk and we can arrange providing direct support.
