Is it only referees who do youth football who need a DBS / Safeguarding?
I ask as i spoke to referee today who has only ever reffed youth football (10 years plus).
Last year he had to do the child safeguarding for the first time. He then told me he has never had to do a DBS. Is this even possible?
I told him that getting a DBS involved using a passport, drivers licence etc and being verified by presenting his documents to a verifier from the county FA. He'd never heard of this (he's a very mature referee).
I would assume he has got it all wrong. He's going to ring county on Monday and see what's what.
