	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>Employers have legal responsibility for ensuring that their current and future workforce is not barred from working with children or vulnerable adults. It is reasonable to expect employers to pay for these Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) checks. DWP recognises there may be exceptional circumstances in which it is appropriate for Jobcentre Plus to reimburse the cost through the Flexible Support Fund if this will ensure a claimant can start a job.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 14/01/2016 16:43:26 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
