With constant concerns from parents about adults working with children and Police Checks, we are asked on a regular basis about whether we have been vetted.
​
All Chief Instructors, instructors & trainee instructors (of 18 or above), have been police checked and each have a current DBS (originally known as Enhanced CRB check) certificate!. This is a rule Zoku sticks by without fail, to provide and promote good practice and follow safeguarding procedures.
