The Punch and Judy Fellowship is pledged to ensuring that its members are not asked
wrongly for DBS checks (formerly CRB). A check may only be requested when the performer
is engaged in a ‘regulated activity’ as officially defined. This definition is centred
on frequent and intensive contact with the same children in the same place by someone
who is employed in a supervising capacity. DBS checks are not relevant to booking
a Punch and Judy performance. This includes visits to schools. Requesting a check
when not required is a breach of current legislation. More info
