Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks

All members of Clifton RFC who have a regular supervisory contact with children or a management responsibility for those working with children must undertake an RFU Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. It is a criminal offence to work with children unsupervised without such a check. Positions that require a DBS check include (but not excluding) the following,

  • Safeguarding and Assistant Safeguarding Officers.
  • Volunteer co-ordinator.
  • Coach (whether volunteer or paid, assisting or leading).
  • Club Referee’s.
  • Age Group Managers.
  • Open Age Team Captains.
  • Junior Supervisors.
  • First Aiders / Physiotherapists / Medical Support.
  • People with access to children's personal information (GMS, Pitchero, etc…).
  • Hold a position of influence

Wondering whether you need a check? In short, if you are working with children or young people more than once per week or 4 or more times in a 30 day period, you need a DBS check.
