CLIENT NOTIFICATION
DBS FEE CHANGE
1ST OCTOBER 2019

Dear Client,

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)  have announced a new fee structure for Enhanced, Standard and Basic DBS Checks which will take effect as of 1st October 2019

Legislation has been laid before parliament to reduce the fees paid to the DBS, the consultation period has now passed and the legislation has therefore been approved to go ahead. 

The new DBS price structure will be as follows as of the 1st October 2019. The volunteer rate and update service fees remain unchanged.

With this in mind, the DBS and Care Check would like to remind clients about the dangers of stockpiling applications. A large number of stockpiled applications has the potential to overload the DBS' and Police Forces operations departments resulting in longer timescales for DBS Checks to be processed. Therefore we politely ask if clients could please ensure they carry on to process their applications as normal up to the 1st October.

We will be sending you another message closer to the time to remind you of the fee change, and to inform you of steps Care Check need to take to implement your reduced DBS rate smoothly.

If you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

Care Check DBS Applications
