From 1 September 2026, the law about regulated activity with children in England and Wales is changing, which might affect some SWOAPG Members. From that date the ‘supervision’ rule will no longer apply. This means that if a person teaches, trains, instructs, cares for or supervises children often enough, or overnight, they will be in regulated activity with children (and need a DBS disclosure) even if someone else supervises them. Full details at Change to the definition of regulated activity with children from 1 September 2026 – GOV.UK.
