What each programme needs

Version 1.3, 21 October 2026.

People Building and NLP4Kids do not ask for the same certificates. If you are on both, you see both sets. A licence and retraining stay with the person. The law, your insurance policy and your contract still come first.

Item	People Building	NLP4Kids	How often
DBS recheck	Yes, unless on the Update Service	Yes, unless on the Update Service	3 years
DBS Update Service confirmation	If enrolled	If enrolled	Once a year
Paediatric first aid	No	Yes	3 years
Online CPR	Yes	No	3 years
Data protection	Yes	Yes	1 year
Online safeguarding	No	Yes	2 years
Adult safeguarding	Yes	No	2 years

Bribery Act	Yes	Yes	1 year
Retraining	Yes	Yes	3 years
Full licence	If that is your licence	If that is your licence	3 years
Lighter licence	If that is your licence	If that is your licence	5 years

A DBS certificate does not expire by law. The three-year date is the organisation’s recheck. Being on the Update Service is not the same as being cleared to practise. The office still has to see the original certificate.

Booking retraining is not the same as attending it. Attending retraining is not the same as a new licence. The office records the new licence. An overdue date is chased. It does not by itself cancel a licence.
