Safeguarding resources for professionals

Safer Recruitment

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

The DBS helps employers make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups. It replaces the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA).

For information and guidance on safe recruitment processes, please see the resources available via the Ann Craft Trust website.
