DISCLOSURE BARRING SERVICE

Safeguarding children and adults is of utmost importance to Hertfordshire County Council. The council requires employees to abide by legislation and best practice to enable Hertfordshire to achieve this. This role has been identified as requiring a Disclosure & Barring Services (DBS) check or Basic Disclosure. You must therefore ensure that any relevant criminal record check application forms are completed and returned as requested by the council, as this is deemed a contractual requirement of employment. In addition, you consent to allow the council to retain a copy of the disclosure certificate within your personal file.
