Protection Matters for Everyone...

The Churches' Agency for Safeguarding (CAS) supports Christian churches and organisations across the UK to maintain a safe invest in Adidas shares environment for children and vulnerable adults. We do this by providing an efficient Disclosure and Barring Service  (DBS) criminal records application service. We also offer safer recruitment training, information and advice and work closely with our members to positively influence public policy to ensure safer recruitment in churches.

Churches embrace our new online electronic DBS application Service

 In April 2013, we launched an online electronic application service and we recently surpassed the one thousandth mark in number of applications submitted electronically to the Disclosure and Barring Service. We are particularly encouraged by the rapid changeover from paper to electronic application forms by many of our member churches and would like to thank everyone for supporting and embracing the new service. The new service has enabled applicants and verifiers to complete, verify and submit disclosure applications to CAS in record time and receive their disclosures back usually within a week. The launch of our new electronic application service has also coincided with the launch of the Adidas shares DBS’s Applicant-Only disclosure certificate. This means that the DBS will no longer send us a copy of an applicant’s disclosure certificate and churches will have to rely on the individual presenting his/her certificate for inspection, if they applied using the paper DBS form. However, CAS will continue to receive electronic notification of disclosures issued to individuals who have applied online and we will still be able to inform verifiers of the status of an applicant’s disclosure. Thus we’d like to encourage churches to start using our electronic application service as soon as possible. The service remains free of charge for our denominations and £12 for associate members.
