Obviously, there are a lot of restrictions and things to be wary of when working with kids. I researched this at the start of the semester to ensure that my project was even viable. All research sources are casually referenced in the Useful Links post. Below is what I found...
- DBS checks are the general requirement when working with minors in the UK.
- They are simple checks that look for any criminal history to ensure you're safe to work around children.
- There are a few different types of DBS checks that cover different things (voluntary, age levels, different lengths of time, different levels of contact).
- School visitors without checks need to be supervised at all times when around children.
- DBS checks are not necessary for short, uncommon contact with children.
- If I decided to make this project into an official, long-term plan, I would need a DBS check (should cost around £40). But for this semester, I should be fine without a check.
