- The applicant (staff member) enters their details onto the system via a secure online Basic DBS / Basic Disclosure Scotland form; they can do this from anywhere with internet access.
- Our system will ask them 'routing' questions to ascertain where they live/work or previously lived/worked; they will be automatically directed to the correct type of Basic Disclosure check (Basic DBS check or a Basic DisclosureScotland check).
- Someone within your organisation (a nominated ID checker) will then need to check their ID and select from a drop-down list what ID you have seen – you can have as many ID Checkers as you need
- The online form is then submitted to us electronically for processing.
- Processing Times: No copies of ID or paper forms are needed. Many Basic DBS applications are being completed within 24 hours, however the average completion time-frame for online Basic checks is 8 days (as long as there are no queries).
- E-Result Notifications: When each Basic check is complete you will be sent an automatic email from our system, informing you that the check has been completed. You will have access to an online result and the Basic Disclosure information in the form of a downloadable pdf “Result Snapshot”.
