DBS. It is the responsibility of the university (as the ITT provider) and not the responsibility of individual partnership schools to ensure that all vetting and suitability checks are carried out on trainees with the exception of School Direct Salaried trainees.Our recruitment processes adhere rigorously to the latest regulations and guidance including the DfE guidance ‘Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education’ (2010 revised version) ‘Keeping children safe in Education’ (2016) and the Department for Education’s more specific Suitability Requirements for all ITT providers (ITT Criteria Supporting Advice February 2018 ). In accordance with all requirements, including those from OfSTED, schools should not request access to DBS Certificates. However, when placing a trainee, the university will confirm with the school that all relevant checks, including a DBS Enhanced Disclosure and a check of the children’s barred list, have been cleared and will share the DBS number and date if given the trainee’s permission. In the case of Salaried Trainees, the DBS Enhanced Disclosure must be undertaken by the employing school and confirmation shared with the university. Additional checks are carried out on trainees from overseas to ensure they are not prohibited from teaching in another country of the European Economic Area
