An update on CQC interim guidance on DBS and other recruitment checks, for providers recruiting staff and volunteers to health and social care services in response to Covid-19
Interim guidance on DBS and other recruitment checks
We have issued interim guidance in response to temporary changes being made by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to DBS applications and processes. It will be in operation for the period the Coronavirus Act 2020 remains in force, and we will review it on a regular basis.
You can find the interim guidance in full on our website
