To start picking up shifts with Florence in England and Wales, you'll need an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and valid DBS certificate.
​
If you have a copy of a third-party DBS certificate that's been issued within the last three years but isn't on the Update Service (https://www.gov.uk/dbs-update-service), you can submit it to us and we'll use it to apply for a new Child and Adult Workforce DBS for you. We'll let you know if you're able to start working while your new application is processing.
​
​To proceed with your DBS application, you'll need to provide:
• A photo ID (for example, a valid driver’s licence, passport or biometric residence permit).
• Two supporting proof-of-address documents.
​
​Proof-of-address documents we can accept include:
​• Utility bill (except mobile phone) dated within the last three months.
• Bank or building society statement dated within the last three months.
• Credit card statement dated within the last three months.
• Council tax statement dated within the last 12 months.
• P45 or P60 dated within the last 12 months.
• Mortgage statement dated within the last 12 months.
• Tenancy agreement dated within the last 12 months.
​
Please send these documents with the subject ‘DBS request’ to [email protected].
​
Once we've made an application on your behalf, you'll get an email with a link to complete your part of the application, including payment. The cost of a Child and Adult Workforce DBS is £45.20, but we'll reimburse you once your police checks have cleared and you've worked your first shift with Florence.
