DBS guide for members

If you would like the SoA to initiate a DBS check for work you are doing with children or young people, please download the form, read the instructions to ensure you are eligible to apply for a check. You can edit it by using the Fill and Sign features in Adobe Reader.

Please return completed forms to membership@societyofauthors.org  We will add them to the DBS system as soon as possible (but please allow 4-5 working days) and then you will receive an email from Certn with instructions for you to upload documents to establish your identity. This is usually your passport, driving licence and a utility bill, not more than three months old with the same address as your driving licence.
