DBS Checks
Our volunteers are asked to have an Enhanced DBS check to ensure they are not barred from working with young people. There is no charge to have this check carried out.
Hampshire Music Service will deal ‘in confidence’ with the checking process through the Disclosure and Barring Service which is the public body that carries out the checks. DBS checks used to be carried out by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). So you may still see or hear them called 'CRB checks'.
A full or abbreviated process is used to carry out the checks for new applicants or those with existing Hampshire Council DBS certificates respectively.
