DBS Process for Team
Newday DBS Process
We require all team who come to Newday to complete a DBS check through Newday. If you already did this for 2023 or 2024, or have a Newday DBS on the Update Service from a previous year, you won't need to do it again. Just pop your information in when booking.
Those joining the team for the first time will need to complete a new DBS with Newday. The DBS costs £15. This is added to your booking as an 'extra' when getting your Team Member ticket, or can be added later here.
Once you have purchased the DBS application, you will shortly receive an email with an application form to fill in: you'll need two forms of if if you are able to provide a passport and driving licence and receive a link from thirtyone:eight, or three forms if not (see info below) the information for which will need to be added to the form.
If your email comes from thirtyone:eight, you’ll need to follow the instructions to fill in your form and submit your ID for a digital check. This is the quickest and easiest way to process your DBS application, so if possible please supply a passport and driving licence.
Once you have digitally verified your ID, the application will be sent off. These sometimes come back immediately, but can take longer: so please do this as soon as possible!
Team will only be required to apply for a Newday DBS once as long as they also sign up for the Update Service within 30 days of their certificate being issued. Once we receive notification of this we will send you a link to do so.
