Hi Neil.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for our team. It's much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sue
Brilliant company
I was using a different company whose system was very complicated and frankly not user-friendly. I then tried Dbschecks and I could not believe how easy it was. The process was very clear and simple. They also gave me daily feedback as to the status of the process. Well done on your efficiency and efficacy.

Very poor and complex information given. we have the impression that we pay for nothing and we even have more work to do than without using the company

I'm sorry to hear of your negative experience. The information required for a DBS check is exactly the same with every company I'm afraid, as we all have to follow the same framework for identity checks.
DO NOT USE this company - Daylight robbery
DO NOT USE this company! Awful, underhand tactics. Charging £81.50 for a BASIC DBS when you can use the gov.uk website and get one for £21.50 – an unjust markup. Don't fall foul to them like I did. I foolishly made my mistake – naively never needing a DBS before but in a rush use them as they were the first company to come up on Google. As soon as I realised my stupid error I emailed the company within 24 hours and asked for a refund. I was told they wouldn't give me the full fee back as per their terms & conditions on the website. Hands up it was my own stupid mistake but they have made me feel like I have been scammed in some way. Not a good representation of a Government umbrella company. Please don't be a fool like me and give them any of your hard-earned money!
