Child welfare is our number one priority and we expect all Kings Camps staff to share our commitment to safeguarding. All staff must therefore complete an enhanced disclosure check for the position. This is an essential part of the process, without which you will not be able to work and other staff may be given hours in your place until this is completed.
To get started, please click on the option below that’s relevant to you:

I need to apply for a new DBS check through The Kings Active Foundation
If you have a live, active registration with the Government DBS Update Service, great! We can perform an updated check online. To do so, we need:
We have to confirm your ID in order to perform a disclosure check. As we have camps across the UK, we appreciate that not all staff can visit our Sheffield office and so we instead offer two online services, one through an app and one through a video call.
How does it work?
Once your ID check has been submitted, send your original DBS certificate to us in the post (we recommend sending signed for so it doesn’t get lost) to:
Contracting Team
Osborne House
47 Snaithing Lane
Sheffield

You’ll need to include a short letter signed by you giving permission for one of our team to perform the update on your personal information.
We will complete the updated check online, saving the results on file. We will contact you only should we need to discuss the information on the certificate. We will return your certificate to the address on your Kings profile.
Please follow the 3 stages below for a new disclosure application with Kings. All our DBS applications are processed by Care Check and the cost is £53 which you will need to fund.

More information on the update service can be found at DBS-update-service. Kings will cover the cost of an initial DBS application for Voluntary, Site and Regional Management positions.
