*The safety of children, parents and nannies themselves is crucial. That is why Community insists that all nanny members are qualified and have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (formerly known as a CRB disclosure). We are supporters of ‘Regulation Matters’ which calls for the registration of all childcarers in the UK.
