What buyers often ask for
Anyone working closely with children or vulnerable adults is likely to need an enhanced check (DBS, PVG in Scotland or AccessNI in Northern Ireland). Delivering government-funded apprenticeship training in England needs a listing on the apprenticeship provider and assessment register. Requirements vary from contract to contract: the tender documents are the final word.
