I have a DD in year 4 and a DS in reception. I have always gone into school when I can to read with the children or give a talk or something. Not regularly, about once a term. Recently I have been going into year 4 around once a month ( not set times, just when I'm free) to teach French as the teachers are frankly totally incapable of doing if.
I was asked yesterday when I was there by DD teacher if I had a DRB check because " someone" had asked . I suppose it could be a parent but I have had a lot of parents say they they are really pleased I'm doing it and the kids really enjoy it.
In fact I DO have a DBS check as I do a French lunch club ( paid) at another school. The DBS isn't specific to the other school as it's via a private company so I suppose I could give a copy of that to school. However, I will soon be stopping running the lunch club and won't be working for the private company so surely that DBS check won't be valid?
Do parents need a DBS check to go and help at school? I am never alone with the children as the class teacher sits in as well
