In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), the Home Office and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) have put temporary arrangements in place, to provide DBS checks and fast-track emergency checks of the Adults’ and Children’s Barred Lists free-of-charge. To support this, Disclosure Services will waive Admin Fees on applications for healthcare and social care workers that are being recruited in connection with the provision of care and treatment of coronavirus in England and Wales, including some of those who have volunteered to help the NHS.


Disclosure Scotland is also suspending all fees for key workers and volunteers who are being drafted to help Scotland fight against coronavirus. This is a temporary measure which will be in place for an initial period of six weeks, before being reviewed and extended further. At this time, Disclosure Services will still be charging an Admin Fee for these applications as the majority of these have to be processed manually.

What our clients say about us

"I have worked closely with Disclosure Services for over four years offering the online application services to the various branches and centres in our organisation. The system provides a quick and easy way of obtaining DBS checks for your staff and volunteers, and reducing the amount of administration and chasing tenfold. Useful videos guide you through the process and the staff at DS are always helpful and happy to advise. I would recommend their services regardless of how big or small your organisation as they are happy to help everyone in your efforts to create a safe working environment"
Development OfficerSports Sector
"When we switched from completing paper DBS application form to this online service, we are extremely impressed by their service. This online process is a lot quicker and the turnaround time can take less than a week sometimes. The team advisers also are very friendly and exceptionally helpful whenever you call them for inquiries. I do recommend this service for all businesses as it is very cost effective and eliminates returns/errors; the friendly advisers effectively check all application meticulously and contact us when further information is required. No time will be wasted!”
