DBS: Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB).
This is a Criminal Record Check (CRB) as well as an identity check.
Brilliant Nannies can perform an Enhanced DBS check for you, whether you are a child carer and/or an adult carer requiring a new police check or if you are a parent employing a child carer and you would like to get her checked.
For childcare jobs we require an Enhanced check, basic disclosures are not accepted to register with our agency.
We charge £80 to process an Enhanced DBS check and upon receiving the certificate, the applicant can sign up to the update service to guarantee an automatic update yearly which is checkable on line at anytime by the employer.
DBS update service is £13 per year and is not mandatory but a great benefit to the candidates.
After paying for the DBS and showing us their documents, candidates will be sent a link with a tracking number and one with the update service registration.
Important: Candidates will only be able to use this certificate when registering with the Ofsted if they sign up to the update service.
After filling the form and gathering your documents please email us on [email protected] to book your appointment in our office in Teddington (TW11) – South West London, where we will be able to check your original documents as well as the form that will then be passed to one of our umbrella bodies to perform the Enhanced Disclosure, we currently use On Line DBS.
If you are not able to come to the office, you can get your documents certified at some of the Post Offices – service called ‘Document Certification Service’ and Post Office fee is £10.50 for three documents or you can get them certified with an authorised person such as a:
· Councillor
· Minister of religion
· Dentist
· Chartered accountant
· Solicitor or notary
· Teacher
· Lecturer
**If using the Post Office service, the certified documents must be posted to: “Flat 5, 16 Elmtree Road – Teddington – TW11 8ST and then we’ll set up a phone call with you.
The certificate number can be used online to get an up to date check for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings plus any additional information held by the local police that’s considered relevant to the childcarer.
An Enhanced disclosure costs £80 that can be paid via Paypal or via bank transfer (please request our bank details). After the payment we’ll email you an online form and the instructions.
