Pastoral support definition and DBS check

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out here. Is a pastoral support manager understood to work in regulated activity with adults? The reason for my question is which DBS check to choose from - Adult and Children workforce of only children? Thanks!!!

  • Is your Pastoral Manager working with children? If yes you should select child workforce. You should only select adult and child workforce if the post-holder is also working with vulnerable adults. You would need to select adult and child in health care posts for example, such as doctors, nurses, dentists. You need to consider what vulnerable groups your post-holder will be in contact with and select the correct category. The majority of posts within a school would require you to select child workforce.
