DBS Checklist
In order to get a DBS certificate follow the steps below:
Give your email address and the name on your passport to Rosie, who passes it to on to Sian at the school.
You will receive an email from the school with a personalised link to the thirtyoneeight.org site that manages this process
Click on that link in the email to go to the site — note that the site doesn’t work in Apple’s Safari browser for some reason.
Click the Start My Application button, then, on the next page, choose “Start Application” in the Standard / Enhanced DBS Application box
enter the organisation reference and password provided in the email into the Organisation Reference and Organisation Code fields and click “Start”
Follow the steps to enter your details, and submit the application.
Important note - when asked what role you must enter “a volunteer”, the validation is wonky and won’t accept just “volunteer”.
On completion a notification is sent to the school that you have filled out the application
You can now bring passport, driving licence and utility bill to school for Sian to approve
Sian acknowledges to DBS people that she has seen these and they initiate the validation process on you
In a week or two after this you will receive you DBS certificate in post
You bring this in to the school for them to see.
In the meantime you can volunteer if you wish so long as you are accompanied in and out of the building by someone who is DBS cleared.
