Enhanced DBS Check

Jonners85

I incurred no charge for the DBS check, so it would appear they footed the bill.


I have no intentions to move house or town at the moment.

Hi Jonners85 please could you let me know the exact steps you took when you called 101 as when I called them they said they did not have a personal checks department. What did you say to the 101 operator to be put through to the person checks team.

Hi,


This has been dragged out for far too long, I understand there is this 60 day malarkey. Anyhow today enough was enough, I called 101 to chase things up. I received an intention to offer email from an employer regarding some bank (cover work). Back in November 2017, but I can't be given a firm start date until this is all cleared up.

So the joys of awaiting this DBS check.

Stage 1 (Application Form received and validated): Completed on 10 Nov 2017
Stage 2 (Police National Computer searched): Completed on 14 Nov 2017
Stage 3 (DBS Children, DBS Adults and List 99 searched, where applicable): Completed on 15 Nov 2017
Stage 4 (Records held by the Police search): Completed on 02 Jan 2018
Stage 5 (Certificate Printed): In Progress


Giving 101 a call today seems to have moved things along (however the woman in the personnel checks dept seemed uninterested and just general mumbling, first day back and all that, stating they'd only received instruction for stage 4 on December 22 2017 despite stage 3 completed on November 15 2017, I don't think I really believe this, she took my phone number and said i'd receive a call back with an update, btu so far nothing). Anyhow from what I can gather someone has not bothered to press print to progress stage 5 to completed?

How much longer am I going to wait? I don't want the employer re-advertising the job or not even getting a chance due to length of time taken for the check...


Thanks.

can an employer take money out of my wages for a dbs check when i leave. I was not told this or given them consent. It is not on my contract. They have taken £62 out of my wages without my written consent.
