and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) have service level agreements in place
with the 52 police forces that DBS work with to provide criminal record checks. This
ensures service delivery against quality, output, cost, and timeliness measures. Individual
forces are assessed monthly against these quantitative measures, with qualitative
standards assessed through a Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) that provides a consistent
approach to the quality of work done across all forces. See link below for information
on the QAF:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/quality-assurance-framework-version-nine-qaf-v9"
