If you process more than 100 checks per year, you can register your organisation to carry out DBS checks on your staff, volunteers and trustees.
If you need fewer than 100 standard or enhanced checks in a year, you’ll need to use a service (called an umbrella organisation) to process them.
For basic checks, you can either process them as an organisation, via an umbrella organisation, or ask the individual to request the check and share it with you.
