We take our responsibilities towards the welfare of young people in athletics very seriously and require everyone in athletics who has significant contact with children to have a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (which has replaced the CRB check).  Following the revision of the Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) process, our Welfare team will now issue forms in house opposed to directing volunteers to the DBS (formerly known as the CRB).
