    Surprised you got anything back from a DBS check so hope this isn't a wind up.
    My experience when in Insurance was that as I actually hadn't paid for a DBS the paper from the check went straight to screening company.

    The only times I've received anything was when I actually paid DBS fee to the new employer to be. Far from the must be very clean financial industry.

    Yes I would prepare to resign.



    Strange my experience is the exact opposite of this, I've always received my DBS checks, as it's my information and then passed them on

    Exactly, the DBS system sends the paper certificate to the person's registered address. It is for them to show the certificate to the employer. The only thing the potential employer may know is whether there is something on the certificate which may interest them or that it is completely clear - they do not know what it actually contains.
