Are DBS checks ‘portable’ within hockey?

Yes, once you have had a DBS check processed through an England Hockey affiliated organisation it is portable to other England Hockey affiliated organisations.
To ‘port’ a DBS check within hockey, an individual must complete an England Hockey DBS Portability Form and send it to the Ethics and Welfare team at England Hockey. The check will then be verified and England Hockey will share the outcome of their DBS check with the other hockey organisation (as detailed by the applicant).
