Require all staff at soft play centres be DBS checked

Closed 194 signatures

What the petition asks


I want the Government to make it a legal requirement for all workers at soft play centres to be DBS checked, as they are around children so I would like to know my children are safe.
As a parent you want to know that every measure has been taken to keep our children safe and the thought that people working in soft play centres may not have had their criminal records checked, and could be sex offenders, is very disturbing and makes me want to keep my children away from soft play centres!
