Hi

Im in the process of finding an assistant and was wondering if anyone knows if you can employ an assistant who isnt English/British in terms of the DBS checks?

I would be so grateful as Im hoping I can!

Thanks

Emma:)

I'm a registered cm and I'm American. Your assistant will probably have to get some sort of certificate of good behaviour from their home country and submit it with the DBS application.

I lived overseas within the 5-yrs before registering as CM here and had to get a CRB from the country I lived in. Could be a similar thing for this person.
