Half Term Clubs Safety etc

Am I being over cautious by asking to physically see things like a DBS for those looking after my kids at clubs during half term?

Do other people ask this? Feels awkward like I'm the only one doing it. Do people just assume they've got one and/or trust them if they say they do?

Or do I need to go further and ask for more stuff, if so what?

Or am I just paranoid

I would think asking to see their dbs is quite rare and not all that useful.

Asking to see their safeguarding policy/H&S policy is l probably more usual (and useful).

Thats the employers responsibility. The actual certificate contains personal information.

I never did. I assumed they would be in place. I was never cautious about this stuff though and allowed sleepovers etc from an early age which I know lots on MN are against. Maybe we were lucky but nothing dodgy ever happened to the kids.
