Webinar on DBS Regulation Changes from 1 September 2026: Important Implications for Volunteer Activities in English Table Tennis

Webinar on DBS Regulation Changes from 1 September 2026: Important Implications for Volunteer Activities in English Table Tennis From 1 September 2026, the Crime and Policing Act 2026 removed the ‘supervision exemption’ from the legal definition of Regulated Activity. Previously, some volunteers and coaches who worked with children under supervision did not need a DBS check but this no longer applies and supervised roles are treated the same as unsupervised ones. The webinar for Table Tennis England’s Designated Safeguarding Officer, Kyhl Daly, will discuss these changes, what it means for you, and wider information about DBS in table tennis. The online webinar will take place on Tuesday 29 September from 6-7pm and you can sign up below. Who is it for? If you’re a Club Welfare Officer, part of a club or league committee or volunteer regularly with children, then this webinar is for you. During the webinar you’ll learn about the change in regulations and how it affects you and volunteers you may work with. You’ll also find out more about Table Tennis England’s DBS processes and the importance of the DBS check in safeguarding children in the sport. What will be covered?
