If your group or organisation works with children or vulnerable adults, it may be necessary for paid staff and volunteers to undergo Disclosure and Barring Service checks (formerly known as CRB checks). DBS checks are designed to help organisations from public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain areas of work, especially those which may involve contact with children or other vulnerable members of society.
To start the DBS process please contact Sian Avery at sian.avery@communitybarnet.org.uk | 020 8364 8400 to book an appointment. You will be required to attend our Barnet office to complete our check and authenticate your documents, this will usually take about ten minutes.
Enhanced Staff Check – includes DBS charge, admin and VAT - £65
Enhanced Volunteer Check – includes admin and VAT - £15
Fees can be paid in advance by BACs. We will issue you with an invoice payable within 30 days.
For further information and to book a DBS check, please contact Sian Avery at sian.avery@communitybarnet.org.uk | 020 8364 8400.
We may be able to visit your organisation to undertake the checks if you have a large number to be completed, this service is subject to a charge, please contact us to discuss
