It's easy!
Thirty one eight was referred to in training and I went to the website afterwards. An easy website to navigate and very clear. I looked at resources. Bought two items and again the experience of making the purchase was easy and the items arrived quickly. Thank you

No way to correct their error or talk to anybody
Was sent the standard digital DBS link by Thirtyone:eight. The site wont accept my correct driving licence number - despite my double checking with DVLA. The error lies with Thirtyone:eight, but the helpline is recorded messages only, no way to talk to a person to resolve the issue. Emailed but still waiting for a response. Very dissapointed, especially given the eyewatering amount of taxpayer's money that has been sunk into a semi-functional site.
