OWLS Workforce

All staff, appointed at OWLS, who come into regular contact with, or have unsupervised access to students have been subject to DBS disclosure and other designated recruitment checks.

Enhanced disclosures are obtained for all permanent staff at OWLS. For any work placement staff, a DBS Enhanced check is carried out by their college/university and the DBS Certificate number given to OWLS. It is OWLS’s policy that volunteers/work placement staff are not left unsupervised with students at any time.

Visitors to OWLS

For any visitor entering OWLS’s premises they will need to give details of their DBS check if they wish to see students. If they are unable to comply with this, they will be denied access to the students.

If visitors are unable to produce the relevant documentation requested, they will be asked to return with the DBS details.
