DBS Management

Open Business Managment from the side menu bar, then Teachers > DBS Management.

This tracks the DBS position for every teacher in one place, rather than leaving it buried on individual records.

A check is recorded in two stages: submitted, with the date it went off, and completed, with the date it came back. Between those two dates the check is in progress, and that gap is the reason a central view matters - a submission that never comes back is invisible on an individual record until somebody happens to look.

Use it to see who has no check at all, whose is still outstanding, and whose is old enough to need renewing.

Worth watching

This screen tells you what has been recorded, not what is lawful. Whether a given teacher requires a check, and how often it must be renewed, is a matter for your own safeguarding policy.
