The temporary Covid free DBS check arrangement will come to an end on 11 May 2023. This date is subject to change until the legislation is laid.
All applications for DBS checks on or after 11 May will need to be processed through the normal DBS route and the usual fees will apply.
The DBS already provides two additional services which can be used to tackle any ongoing Covid related or other similar emergency in the future: DBS Update Service and the Adult First service.
