DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) Policy

Safeguarding and Professional Standards

Simply AVS is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding, safety, and professional conduct when working in environments where vulnerable individuals may be present.

We recognise that many of our projects are delivered in settings such as education, healthcare, public sector, and community venues, where robust safeguarding practices are essential.

DBS Checks

Where required by the nature of the role or project environment, Simply AVS ensures that appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are carried out for relevant employees and contractors.

DBS checks help us ensure that individuals working in sensitive environments are suitable and meet the required safeguarding standards.

Where DBS Checks Apply

DBS checks may be required when working in environments such as:

  • Schools, colleges, and universities
  • Healthcare facilities and hospitals
  • Care homes and supported living environments
  • Youth and community settings
  • Other sites where vulnerable individuals may be present

We assess requirements on a project-by-project basis in line with client expectations and site policies.

Responsibility and Compliance

Simply AVS takes safeguarding seriously and ensures that:

  • Staff are appropriately vetted where required
  • Site access requirements are followed at all times
  • Client safeguarding policies are respected
  • All personnel behave professionally and responsibly on site

We work closely with clients to ensure compliance with their safeguarding procedures.

Training and Awareness

All relevant team members are expected to understand safeguarding responsibilities and follow best practices when working on site. Where necessary, additional training or site-specific induction requirements are completed before work begins.

Commitment to Safe Working Environments

We are committed to ensuring that all projects are delivered safely, responsibly, and in accordance with client expectations and legal requirements.

Safeguarding is an important part of how we operate, particularly in environments where our work may come into contact with vulnerable individuals.

Conclusion

Simply AVS is committed to maintaining safe, compliant, and professional working practices across all projects. DBS checks and safeguarding procedures form part of our wider commitment to responsible delivery in sensitive environments.
