Report of the Town Clerk.

A report of the Town Clerk outlined the City of London Corporation’s obligations in relation to disclosure and barring service (DBS) requirements for Chairmen, Governors on boards of the City’s independent schools, academies and one maintained school.

Governors were reminded of the importance of completing a DBS check and, if they had not already, they were encouraged to do so as soon as possible. The Board discussed the process and the Town Clerk confirmed that the certificate was transferable although you needed to register on-line for the automatic renewal service within 14 days of the certificate being issued. Governors were reminded that the HR Department would be able to advise on any specific queries.
