We need to do some safeguarding and reference checks to make sure you can look after young people. These include:
- safeguarding checks on you and anyone over the age of 18 who lives in your home. This is usually a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for criminal convictions and police cautions
a health and safety check on your home
three personal references from people you know
a doctor's note to confirm you are fit and healthy
