DBS Checks &
Safeguarding.

Clarke Lambert Construction follows safeguarding and access procedures on all education and healthcare projects. DBS-checked personnel are available on request, and our site management approach is designed for occupied, sensitive environments.

What is DBS Enhanced Clearance?

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced check is the highest level of criminal record check available in England and Wales. It is required for anyone working in regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults.

An Enhanced DBS check includes a search of the Police National Computer, local police records, and the DBS barred lists. It provides schools, academies, hospitals, and care homes with assurance that contractors on their premises have been thoroughly vetted.

For construction contractors working in these environments, DBS clearance is not optional — it is a legal and safeguarding requirement under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006.
