Background Checking - United Kingdom

For getting background checked in the UK individuals must go through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

For more information on this please see the GOV.UK website.

We recommend that before volunteering as a CoderDojo mentor that individuals sign up as a StemNet ambassador and StemNet will provide extra information and free DBS checking in return for mentors volunteering at least one Stem event per year, which includes a CoderDojo session!

Note: The CoderDojo Foundation are currently working on a wider official partnership with StemNet so watch this space!
