New DBS arangements for Taxi Trade

Meeting: 23/11/2016 - Licensing and Public Safety Committee (Item 55)

New DBS Arrangements for Taxi Trade

The Regulatory Services Manager will give a verbal update.

Minutes:

Members were reminded of the letter the council received in the summer of 2016 regarding the decision that the Council would lose its umbrella status meaning we would be unable to provide DBS checks.

The Licensing Enforcement Officer provided Members with a verbal update on their work to find an alternative method to delivering the DBS Service. An E-bulk alternative had been found via a service level agreement with Personnel Checks that would be reviewed in 6 months’ time to track progress. However it was reported that the early stages had provided positive feedback.

It was AGREED that the report be noted.
