DBS Checks

You will need to have an Enhanced DBS to obtain your Private Hire Licence. If you are unsure if anything will show up on your DBS is its advised to speak directly to your local operator. All past, spent and current convictions and incidents will show up on the checks done. Some offences will prevent a licence being obtained. If you have a recent DBS this may be acceptable if your DBS is on the Gov.uk update service. Some you should not need to have a new DBS.

Safeguarding

Some Licensing Authorities require a separate safeguarding course as part of obtaining a PHV licence or in some councils this is integrated into a passenger assistant/driver awareness course as part of county badging. Here you will gain knowledge of how to work safely with vulnerable passengers and what to do in circumstances where there is a safeguarding concern. This equips both driver and PA with the knowledge to conduct themselves in a professional and appropriate way.
