DBS factsheet - how it works and key issues for organisations

The Disclosure and Barring Service launched its Update Service on 17 June.

The Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) launched its Update Service on 17 June 2013. This service is designed to deliver portability of disclosure and barring (formerly CRB) checks. It will allow a person to show a certificate to more than one employer and allow that employer to check whether the information on that person has changed since the certificate was produced.

A factsheet which explains what the DBS Update Service is, how it works and the key issues for voluntary organisations, has been produced by NAVCA, to read the factsheet see attached.
