I am applying for a DBS required team and I'll be 16 at New Wine Festival but I haven't yet turned 16, how can I apply for a DBS check?

All DBS required team applicants who will be 16 years of age or above at New Wine Festival need to complete a DBS check. This is different from previous years where the minimum age for DBS checks was 17. We appreciate that it is only possible for those who are currently 16 to complete a DBS check.

If you are applying for a team that requires a DBS but you are currently 15 (turning 16 in the months leading up the Festival), please continue to apply for team but start the DBS process once you turn 16. We will still process your team application and you can still be accepted onto team under the provision that your DBS check is clear. If your DBS check does not come back clear, this will be escalated to the Team Leader.
