While CPR is not mandated by law, it is essential to verify those who choose to be listed on the register, ensuring the process remains robust and trustworthy.

Verification can be done by providing a DBS certificate number or presenting the certificate itself if it is not registered on the DBS Update Service. A valid DBS certificate is a requirement for registration.

Your Rights

A DBS certificate is your personal property, and you have the right to withhold the certificate number or any other details. However, to complete the registration, we must either view the full certificate or confirm its status on the DBS Update Service to verify its validity and ensure it was issued to the correct individual.

Failure to provide a DBS certificate number during registration will prevent the completion of the process.
