You've seen the forthcoming changes for September 2026 relating to DBS checks and regulated activity for volunteers and the recommendation to review volunteer roles.
The removal of the supervision exemption means some volunteer roles will need to be reviewed to determine whether they now fall within regulated activity and require different DBS checks.
For trustees and committees, this is a reminder that strong governance isn't just about staying compliant, it's about having the right systems, policies and processes in place to protect children and support your setting.
