As part of the ongoing care and safeguarding of the children we take on camp, Forest School Camps requires all staff to have completed a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before looking after children. FSC will register staff with the DBS update service so we can verify their DBS status on a regular basis.

Prior to completing your BDS application form, please complete this form to confirm that you have read and understood the following key documents:

1) The Standard/Enhanced Check Privacy Policy for applicants. Available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dbs-privacy-policies

2) FSC’s policy on criminal offences and Disclosure and Barring Checks. Available at: https://www.fsc.org.uk/dbs/offences-and-checks/

3) FSC's policy on secure storage, handling, use, retention and disposal of Disclosure and Barring information. Available at: https://www.fsc.org.uk/dbs/data-storage-policy/
