DBS updates
Does anyone still use this forum??!!
I cant remember what the rules are surrounding DBS checks.....do we need to be signed up to the annual update service still or was it decided this was no longer necessary??

The update service is optional, but they don't make that very clear!

Ah is it? I remember it used to cost us about £10-£13 to do it. Is it written anywhere we don't need it any more?

DBS checks for childminders and childcare workers - GOV.UK
You have never 'needed' to do it, I believe. They just want you to, bit of a money spinner for them I guess! But it depends on your situation, it is worthwhile if you need to get yourself DBSed for other roles. Explained here.

My daughter is registered as my assistant and I keep her on the update service. I thought it would be useful if she worked at other places, but everywhere she's been, she's had to have a new DBS done. I'm not really sure what advantage there's been to her being on it.
