Monitor your DBS application as it progresses through each stage.

Make sure that you are always kept in the loop!

The inbuilt DBS tracking service is a great way to keep an eye on all your DBS application forms, so you know what is going on. Once the DBS have received the application, our system constantly connects to the DBS service and lets you know every time the stage or status of an application changes.

Email updates

Our system sends you email updates and notifications and even allows you to see the result (if the certificate is clear) online. Although we give you this information to help you, you will still also need to see the applicant's original certificate. The DBS tracker allows you to track multiple forms at once which saves time.

The benefits of using the DBS tracking service:

• Keeps you informed about what's going on
• Provide you with peace of mind
• Allows you to keep your boss updated
• Allows you to keep your applicants updated
• Lets you know when the certificate has been dispatched.
• Less stress
