I’m calling on the government to close the DBS loophole by ensuring civil harassment orders, such as court-issued undertakings, are disclosed on Enhanced DBS checks to better protect children and vulnerable people from individuals under legal restrictions.
React
Members can read every reason.
Mandate that all Council and Parliamentary Candidates have an Enhanced DBS check
At the moment it is not mandatory for prospective council candidates or Parliamentary candidates to have an Enhanced DBS check.
Require DBS checks for all contractors for housing associations and councils
Require DBS checks for all contractors and subcontractors carrying out work for housing associations and councils.
Review & strengthen DBS checks for risks, create lifetime safeguarding records
I want the Government to review and strengthen DBS checks. Implement national pattern-recognition, improve cross-agency information sharing, create lifetime safeguarding records and automatic alerts to avoid missing repeated allegations or risks when people work with children or vulnerable adults.
Require conveyancing searches to include commercial noise & ban complaints
We urge the Government to legislate to require conveyancing searches to include commercial noise and ban any complaints from new residents about noises identified in the searches.
Require DBS checks for all staff in Soft Play centres.
We want the Government to amend safeguarding legislation so that all staff working in Soft Play environments are required to undergo DBS checks, ensuring consistent child protection standards across all childcare and play settings, and closing what we see as a clear safeguarding gap in current law.
