i dont know what it's called,
it's some relativly new crap from the government,
anybody working with kids needs an anual permit that you buy from the police.
they of course dont call it "buying" - they say it's to cover the cost of a background check.
Even if you think you’ve never heard of them before, you might already know about DBS checks. In December 2012, DBS checks replaced what was previously known as a criminal record (CRB) check.
A DBS check allows an employer to see your criminal history.
DBS checks are often carried out at the start of your employment, or just before an employer decides to hire you. Depending on the level of check required for your role, the employer will be able to find out any criminal convictions you may have, outstanding or otherwise, in order to inform their recruitment process and ensure that safer recruitment practices are enforced in their workplace.
Safer recruitment is necessary when it comes to safeguarding individuals, particularly children and vulnerable adults. If you are applying for a role that brings you into contact with either of these groups, it is a legal requirement that your employer carries out an enhanced DBS check before you start working for them.
Think they needed to do some of these checks on the BBC and ITV employees over the last few decades
