If you’re a Membership Secretary who wishes to access the online DBS system and verify an application go to Know Your People. We’ve recently migrated to a new platform, if you do not have a login or are unsure of how to use the platform email leanne.powell@woodcraft.org.uk.
ID documents must be witnessed either in person or via video call. ID documents witnessed by video call this must be seen in person within a couple weeks of the application being submitted to the DBS. You should not use scans, photos or photocopies to verify a members identity.
You’ll need:
- Organisation Pin — if you’re unsure of your Districts pin click here to view our list.
- Your personal login details for the website. Please contact head office if you’ve not received your activation email to create your login for the site.
- Details of the applicants ID (either the physical ID or a completed ‘ID checking form’ available to view in our Online DBS guidance.
- Membership Secretary Online DBS guidance. Click here to view.
- Guidance on processing sensitive DBS applications (transgender & non-binary members)
Once you’ve verified a members application it will be sent to the Disclosure & Barring Service for processing. Details of the DBS certificate will be sent to both the member and Woodcraft Folk, so there is no need to witness a DBS certificate unless we’re advised that there is a conviction/caution/reprimand or warning listed on it.
