This department comes under the broader department of ‘Keeping the Church Family Safe’ and is responsible for undertaking the safeguarding administrative tasks within a church. These include organising the DBS/PVG/AccessNI checks for church officers and keeping up-to-date records of these activities. They will be responsible for periodic returns to the Conference and will receive training for their role from the Conference secretariat.
DBS checks are for those who work/have substantial contact with children or vulnerable adults. Access to sensitive/confidential/personal information does not provide eligibility for a DBS check.
