What follows is a brief guide on how to initiate a DBS check:
- Contact your CWO or a known DBS verifier to initiate an online application via email (provide your full name, DOB, the name of the club you are affiliated with, the role you hold at that club and a contact email address).
- You will receive an email once the verifier has initiated the application. Follow the instructions and input your information online.
- Take your identification documents to a verifier (you will receive a list of nearby verifiers) - have your application number handy. The verifier will confirm your details online whilst you are there.
- The application will then be processed and a DBS certificate will be issued, subject to checks.
For more information on DBS applications, please contact your local Community Cricket Officer or Club Development Manager (details of which can be found HERE) or alternatively contact Donna Staniland (d.staniland@yorkshirecb.com, 01132033668 or Ray Knowles (ray.knowles@live.co.uk, 07834 967048).
For online verifiers to initiate an application, they must first search for the applicant by name within the online system (it won't find them as the application is yet to be initiated). The verifier will then be invited to submit a new application and can enter the details.
Ideally, each club/organisation will have their own verifier to initiate applications. If you wish to become an online DBS verifier, or would like guidance on how to use the online system, please contact your local Community Cricket Officer or Club Development Manager or alternatively Donna or Ray for more details.
If an application is initiated, the applicant will automatically be assigned to the verifier's club or association (eg. ACO) on the system. If you have had an application initiated from outside your club/organisation and wish to change your association details please contact Ray.
