We have now launched a new offer giving self‑employed individuals and personal employees access to DBS checks*
As an individual, a DBS check helps you demonstrate that you are suitable to work in roles that involve contact with children, young people, or vulnerable adults, and it can reassure clients, commissioners, or partner organisations who may need evidence of your background.
We process Standard and Enhanced DBS checks on your behalf, with simple in‑person ID verification at our Maldon office.
How it works:
✔ Book an appointment
✔ Bring your ID and details
✔ We submit your application to DBS
✔ Your certificate is sent directly to you
A £45 administration fee applies, plus the DBS fee.
From Monday 2nd December 2024 the new DBS fees are:
Enhanced DBS check – £49.50
Standard DBS check – £21.50
Payment is required in advance of the DBS form being sent on for further process.
You can pay online via a link we will send you when we confirm your booking.
*Please note: to access this service you must be able to attend an in person appointment in Maldon, Essex
