You can use this form to submit a chaperone application or renewal only if you live within the London Borough of Bromley.
Please read the following notes carefully before completing this form.
* We can accept existing DBS certificates ONLY IF:
• They have been issued through LB Bromley within the last 3 years OR
• They have been registered with the DBS Update Service AND
• They are Enhanced and include all the relevant checks (some school DBS’s don’t have these).
If your non-Bromley DBS is not registered with the update service it is not portable; you will need to apply for a new DBS check.
If your DBS does not include the children’s barred list check and the Education Act 2002 Section 142 check you will need to apply for a new DBS check.
If your LB Bromley DBS has not been registered we can only license you to its expiry which is 3 years after issue date. If there is not much shelf life left on it you can apply for a new DBS check.
The licensing process can take up to ten weeks to complete; please apply well in advance of the performance you wish to chaperone.
If you are unable to attach a copy of your dbs certificate to this application please present all paperwork promptly upon request to ensure you are licensed in time. Delay in returning dbs certificates to the civic centre is the principal cause of licences not being issued. Please note you will also need to attach a recent photo of yourself to this application.

Training
Chaperone training is mandatory for all Bromley chaperones regardless of any other safeguarding training already completed. You will need to complete the current chaperone training, provided by NSPCC. This training is specific to the entertainment industry. All chaperones, either volunteer or professional, will need to complete the training. We unfortunately cannot reimburse you the NSPCC training fee which is £25.00. Training will need to be completed for each application/renewal.
