The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) has launched a Regional Safeguarding Outreach programme to focus on working collaboratively with safeguarding and recruiting organisations including Early Years Providers in Leicestershire. The Regional Safeguarding Outreach Officer (East Midlands) is available to develop and deliver any sessions or services you are interested in to support you and your colleagues in safeguarding and safer recruitment. They would be happy to discuss further with you any issues or barriers you may have come across or provide any DBS information sessions you feel would be beneficial. You can find out more about the regional outreach role on: DBSRegionaloutreach@dbs.gov.uk
