DBS

[zigzag]

The committee wants to have some bank staff in place as a back up plan. Its been a long time since i had a staff member  DBS checked. I just wanted to double check that I am going down the right route. They need to have an enhanced DBS and be signed to the update service. But when I got to the ofsted DBS application this comes up and they don't fit into either category.  Any help would be most appreciated as I seem to be going round in circles and don't want to do it incorrectly.

I think you have to go with the 'use your own company' route. I maybe wrong but I think the link you've added for for people that can't do their own?

For example I am the owner- so I can't check my own ID etc,  but I've had to set up an account with a DBS company to  do all my staff.

We use Ucheck.
