DBS Checks

In line with the school’s safeguarding policy, to host under-18s, you will require an enhanced DBS check. This will be organised by Lewis School of English at a cost of £48.80 per person, which includes an administration fee. The card payment provider may charge an additional processing fee of approximately £3 plus VAT. This fee may vary depending on the provider.

All permanent adult members of the household must have individual criminal records checks unless there is evidence that the check on the main caregiver included other adults in the home. 

Safeguarding Course

All hosts are also required to complete a free online safeguarding course. Please follow the link below and once completed send the certificate to jbell@lewis-school.co.uk. If you have any problems downloading the certificate, please let us know.
