Safeguarding Essentials webinar

Monitor and improve the effectiveness of your safeguarding practices using BBE's 'Check & Challenge' tool.

A lot of us in the world of banding will have needed to complete a DBS check at one time or another, but what exactly are they, and who needs one?

View our BandSafe resources here.

What is a DBS check, why do you need one, and how do you apply? This resource tells you everything you need to know plus how BBE can support with free DBS application for volunteers.

If you’ve been thinking about enrolling onto the BandSafe training programme, this session will offer a helpful overview of what to expect, plus will look at writing your safeguarding policy and how to use the BBE national BOPA.

BBE can now act as your one-stop shop to use our BBE-held BOPA to exempt your performances from the Child Performance Licensing legislation and provide all the necessary checks and training.

Child Performance Licensing may be unheard of for many in the banding world, but it is already impacting on the activities of many organisations. Brass Band England’s (BBE’s) Development Manager, Alex Parker, explains how the organisation is tackling the myriad issues arising from the new legislation.
