Regulation 8 London pedicab operators to obtain DBS certificate

An applicant or any associated person to an applicant for an operator’s licence (including a renewal of a licence) must undertake a basic DBS check and obtain a basic DBS certificate.

The DBS certificate, or certificates, obtained under paragraph (1) must be provided to TfL with the application for an operator’s licence.

The requirement in paragraph (1) applies to any associated person to the applicant unless they are also a pedicab driver.

An operator is required to secure that any persons employed by or associated with them and engaged in pedicab booking, where those persons’ duties require them to have direct contact with members of the public, undertakes a basic DBS check and obtains a basic DBS certificate before they commence their employment.

During the currency of the operator’s licence, any associated person to the operator must, within 28 days of the first anniversary of the start of the operator’s licence, and thereafter within 28 days of each subsequent anniversary of the start of the operator’s licence, undertake a basic DBS check and obtain a DBS certificate.

The operator must provide to TfL upon request the basic DBS certificate obtained under paragraph (5) within seven days of that request.

The requirement in paragraph (4) applies to any associated person to the operator unless they are also a pedicab driver, the holder of a cab-driver’s licence or the holder of a London PHV Driver’s licence.

A DBS check under paragraph (1) must be obtained from TfL’s appointed service provider.
