Navigating the New DBS Changes: What Volunteer Managers Need to Know

The biggest changes to DBS eligibility in years come into effect on 1 September 2026. Join Oliver Jones, DBS Specialist at Verifile, for a practical session exploring what these changes mean for volunteer-involving organisations.

Oliver will cover:

• The removal of the supervision exemption.
• The new regulated activity criteria.
• How DBS eligibility is changing.
• When Enhanced DBS checks with Children's Barred List checks will be required.
• What these changes mean for your volunteer recruitment and onboarding processes.

There will also be plenty of time for live Q&A, so bring your questions. Whether you're reviewing your current processes or simply trying to understand the new legislation, this is a great opportunity to hear directly from a DBS specialist and get clarity on the changes.

Can't make it live? No problem. The session will be recorded, and everyone who registers will receive a copy of the recording afterwards.

This session is ideal for volunteer managers, safeguarding leads and anyone responsible for recruiting and onboarding volunteers.
