Free DBS guidance

26 November 2024

We’re pleased to let you know that free, one-to-one appointments with a Disclosure & Barring Service Adviser are available for groups and organisations looking to seek information and guidance on DBS products and services.

The Regional Outreach Adviser service is available for one-to-one appointments either over the phone or Microsoft Teams.

The DBS Adviser for Yorkshire & The Humber, Rebecca Bool, can answer questions on the different levels and types of DBS check available, including when eligibility is met for higher levels of DBS check, information on the Update Service, responding to DBS information requests and making a referral to DBS when safeguarding concerns have been raised about a staff member or volunteer.

Appointments can be made between 9am-3pm, Monday to Friday (where slots are available).

To book a one-to-one appointment please email: Rebecca.bool@dbs.gov.uk

Please note appointments are available to staff and volunteers within groups and organisations and not individual people making enquiries about their own DBS check application or referral with DBS.
