Fast and Simple Online DBS Checking
Our DBS service helps schools and academy trusts to comply with safer recruitment and pre-employment statutory guidance, Ofsted safeguarding requirements, and other legal requirements.
We provide expert support and guidance to all applicants and organisations. We support you with a full and thorough risk assessment process where positive disclosures are received. This allows you to make a fully informed decision on the suitability of an individual to work with children.
You also have access to a range of additional web-based guidance and resources to support you with the DBS checking process.
“One word…….WOW! We have been using the DBS service for under a week and have already had our first completed applications through. I particularly like how you can watch their progress and see when the process is finished.”
- Andrew Pritchard, Resources Director - Range High School, Formby
