How do I access this benefit?
If your chief executive is an ACEVO member then anyone in the organisation can submit, process and track DBS applications through the new easy-to-use online system.
The process is simple, it can take less than five minutes to request a disclosure, and checks are often completed in as little as 48 hours, sometimes on the same day.
You will receive notification when the checks are complete and you can download and print certificates for cleared applicants immediately.
Our online system allows two users from each organisation to request disclosures and have access to results. If an organisation requires more than two users there is a small charge of £1.00 + VAT per additional user.
If you would like to access this service but are not an ACEVO member, please contact the membership team about joining ACEVO. Or you can join online.
