The single central record template

A fillable single central record you complete on your device. One row per person, with a column for each vetting check: identity, enhanced DBS and who obtained it, barred list, Update Service, right to work, references, qualifications, first aid and more. Updated October 2026: nobody may now start work before their DBS and barred list checks are back. Print it or save as PDF when you are done.

New to the SCR? Read our plain-English guide to the single central record first - it explains what is statutory for early years and what inspectors actually check.

You'll get the fillable template on the next screen. Fill it in on your device and print or save as PDF when you're done. We won't add you to a mailing list. See our privacy policy.
