Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and medical updates

DBS checks on everyone in your household aged 16 plus are updated every 3 years. Children who are placed with you as a looked after child or move onto Staying Put arrangements do not require a DBS check, even if they are over 16.

Medical updates are completed every 3 years via your GP or where there have been significant changes to your health; this does not usually require a medical examination.
