What is the Role of a DBS Umbrella Body?
DBS Umbrella Bodies play an essential role: They provide access to DBS checks for organisations who cannot directly register with the Disclosure and Barring Service – this is only an option for organisations processing hundreds of DBS checks a year, with access to a highly capable software development team.
They provide support, guidance, and the necessary IT infrastructure to enable organisations to apply for online DBS checks. If you’re looking for a DBS Umbrella Body to sign up with, Aaron’s Department provides a fast, cost-effective DBS checking service.
How Does a DBS Umbrella Body Work?
There are a lot of complicated rules, procedures and software that comes with making DBS applications online. Umbrella Bodies provide a specialist service to make DBS checks accessible to employers.
It’s our team’s job to know the ins and outs of DBS law, and our coders have designed an online application system that’s as easy to use as possible.
The government saves money by getting private businesses to handle the application system, and the Umbrella Bodies add value by competing to provide the best service possible!
What Checks Can A DBS Umbrella Body Provide?
Aaron’s Department offers Basic, Standard, and Enhanced DBS Checks, with the options of Adult First checks and Barred List checks, if applicable.

With over 18 years of DBS & CRB Umbrella Body experience, we’ll make sure that you and your staff get the right level of check for the role. We’re always happy to provide eligibility guidance if you’re unsure.
