The service uses an online system for processing electronic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, which means disclosures are received on average within 5 days.

We are also able to offer online digital identity verification in line with recent enhancements.

The charges are set by the DBS and may be subject to annual increase. The DBS does not charge for checking volunteers, although the County Council administration charge is still applicable.

Reference checking

On-line reference request service, reducing timescales for receipt of checks

Full recruitment administration service

A managed recruitment administration service through the NCC e-recruitment solution, from placement of advert to issue of formal offer. Candidates apply online via an application form which is configurable to individual requirements.
