DBS Checks

At Taekwondo Council UK, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is an essential requirement for all registered instructors, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

This background check provides crucial information about an individual's criminal record, helping us create a secure and trusted environment for students of all ages, especially children and vulnerable individuals.

With a mandatory 3-year renewal policy, we are committed to upholding the most current safeguarding practices, fostering confidence and peace of mind for our members and their families.

What is a DBS?

A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is a background check that provides information about an individual's criminal record and any relevant safeguarding concerns. It is an essential measure for ensuring that those working with children or vulnerable individuals are suitable and trustworthy. DBS checks play a crucial role in creating safe environments by identifying potential risks and enabling organisations to make informed decisions about who they work with. At Taekwondo Council UK, we require all instructors to hold a valid DBS check as part of our commitment to upholding the highest standards of safety and professionalism in martial arts.
