The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is supporting Wales National Safeguarding Week, providing its expertise to a range of informative, awareness-focused activities.
Wales National Safeguarding Week, taking place from 9 to 13 November 2026, brings organisations and professionals across Wales together around safeguarding awareness, learning and practice.
DBS checks are one part of DBS’ contribution to safeguarding. Depending on a professional’s role, organisation and circumstances, other DBS subjects may also be relevant, including check eligibility, regulated activity, referral responsibilities and barring.
During Wales National Safeguarding Week, DBS is contributing expertise on these subjects to activity organised by Regional Safeguarding Boards across Wales.
Regional Safeguarding Boards across Wales are organising programmes of activity and learning throughout the week.
