Who will see the information on my DBS certificate?

Any information that is disclosed on a DBS certificate will
only be reviewed by England Hockey’s Safeguarding Case Management Panel (CMP), a small group of people with expertise in assessing this information. CMP will review any information and assess against a number of factors including:

• Nature of the offence
• How long ago the incident happened
• Whether the incident involved young people
• The role applied for

Individuals may be asked to provide additional information to the panel in order to make an informed decision as to a person’s suitability for a specific role.

No details will be shared with anyone else in England Hockey or the individual’s club or association Welfare Officer (WO). Once the review has taken place, assuming there are no concerns, the WO will receive a simple email confirmation that the DBS process has been completed.
