Previously the Safeguarding team provided a DBS matrix to help Parishes find out the correct level of DBS checks for their volunteers. The previous system, Microsite, did not however allow for any deviation from the established DBS level required which did not take into account the variation of responsibilities volunteer roles have.
Moving away from the old system on Microsite and adopting Hubs has allowed the Parishes to set the correct level of DBS check required for their volunteer roles based on their individual responsibilities.
Therefore we have created a resource here which provides a condensed DBS matrix for the most common parish roles. The matrix also sets out the roles that are managed by the Diocese, known as central roles such as LLM and PTO. Parishes will not need to complete the DBS checks for those in these Central roles.
To find out the DBS requirements of all other Parish roles, please contact our DBS provider ThirtyOneEight to find out if the role will require a DBS and at what level. ThirtyOneEight has a useful eligibility guidance page here Eligibility Guide. Please note, in order to use this, you will need to be a 31:8 recruiter and have a members portal account.
