DBS Checks for NACAS Members

We offer our members a heavily discounted Disclosure and Barring Checking Service. 

An Enhanced DBS check costs just £44.80, a significant saving on other platforms.

If you would like an Enhanced DSB check and are a member please email dbs@nacas.org.uk quoting your membership number, and we will send you the appropriate link.

The Disclosure and Barring Service have amended the current temporary arrangements implemented in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, effective 15th April 2020.

To be eligible for a fast-track check you need to  be providing care and support to someone showing symptoms of Covid-19, back filling for staff who are self isolating and showing symptoms of having Covid-19 or back filling for staff who have the Coronavirus disease. 

If you do not qualify for a fast-track check, applications will be processed in the normal way. This is to ensure emergency checks for COVID-19 roles can be processed without delay. 

The following DBS Checks are available for workers being recruited in connection with the care and treatment of COVID-19 in England and Wales: 

• Standard and Enhanced checks for eligible emergency roles detailed in the Serious Organised Crime and Policing Act 2005 (Commencement No.16) Order 2020.

•  A fast-track check of the appropriate barred list This emergency barred list(s) check is only available to eligible emergency roles.

DBS note: the above includes any new staff recruited to backfill for existing staff who may themselves be ill or self-isolating, or have been assigned a temporary role to support the coronavirus response. Backfill staff are eligible whether or not they are directly treating or caring for COVID-19 patients. 

 All of these applications will be submitted as volunteer checks, meaning the only charge payable is the uCheck administration fee. 

If you believe you qualify for a fast-track check please email: dbs@nacas.org.uk

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Fast-track DBS checks are not eligible for registering with the Update Service. If you specifically want to link your DBS to the update service, you will need to apply using the normal route.
