Basic DBS check £23.00

Standard DBS check £23.00

Enhanced DBS check £40.00

The fee for the Update Service will remain the same, at £13 per year. The fee for an Adult First check will also remain the same, at £6.

Standard and enhanced volunteer applications will remain free-of-charge.

These reductions reflect the significant improvements in efficiency that DBS has achieved over the last few years and provides an opportunity for us to pass some of these benefits back to customers through lower pricing.

This also aligns with one of DBS’ strategic objectives to drive good value for money, with a fee reduction - one of their goals in the 2019/20 Business Plan.
