These attainments apply to applications across all employment sectors, including the care sector. Furthermore, DBS is working closely with police forces to improve turnaround times for Enhanced checks.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, DBS provides an Update Service which allows:</p><ul><li>individuals to subscribe so they can keep their standard or enhanced certificates up-to-date; and</li><li>employers to check that person’s certificate online.</li></ul><p> </p><p>This service may reduce the need to apply for multiple certificates when individuals move from one job to another in the same workforce, or when a re-check is required, as employers can carry out a quick online status check to see if an individual’s certificate is still up-to-date. This service may be of significant benefit for individuals that work within the social care sector.</p><p>DBS also provides an ‘adult first check’ service to employing organisations in the care sector. Employers can request the result of a check of DBS’ list of barred adults, ahead of the completion of an Enhanced application. Depending on the result, a person can be permitted to start work with vulnerable adults, under supervision, before the result of an Enhanced DBS check.</p><p>Although DBS does not provide automatic progress updates during the processing of applications. However, it is possible for relevant parties to check on the progress of applications through DBS’ online tracking services.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 10/01/2023 10:31:14 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines
