Introduction: Can You Fast Track DBS Checks?
In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency and speed are highly valued. When it comes to DBS Checks, it is understandable that employers often seek ways to streamline the process. One such method employers look for, and that other Registered Bodies claim to offer, is fast-tracking their DBS checks, which “expedites the processing time and can help to provide the results promptly”. Our promise to you. Every DBS check received by 4pm will be processed the same day.
Understanding the DBS Check
The DBS check is an important part of the hiring process, particularly for roles involving work with vulnerable individuals, such as children or adults at risk. It helps employers make informed decisions by revealing an individual’s criminal history, or lack of.
Traditional Processing Times
In standard circumstances, the processing time for a DBS check can vary. On average, it takes between 7 and 10 days for a check to be completed, although it can be shorter or longer depending on various factors. At the time of writing this, our quickest check this year was completed in a lightening fast 49 minutes! These factors effecting processing time include the level of the check (basic, standard, or enhanced), the accuracy and completeness of the information provided, and the workload at the DBS.
