Taking on a college student

[jghmt96]

I am looking for some advice. I am ofsted registered and have a student, doing health and social care, who wants to a placement with me. She is 17 and DBS checked. What else do I have to do for this? Any advice would be more than welcome 😊

I’ve been wondering about this too. I don’t have any advice, other than I’ve been told, if their dbs is more than 3 months old, you will have to pay for them to have another one done. They probably won’t have joined the update service (they are probably teenagers and won’t want to be paying more money than they have to be) and depending on when they come to you, the dbs was probably done in the summer, so more than 3 months ago.

I was wondering if it would be like taking on an assistant - would I then have to do level 2 safeguarding?
